Rare Vintage A & P Grocery Galvanized Metal Banana Box Grocery Bin W/ Handles

Description

Up for your consideration is a wonderful rare vintage A&P market bin/box/basket.
I believe this was some sort of grocery in possibly a banana box which was  probably from the 1930s.
This is a pretty large bin so it can hold a lot or store a lot.
This would make a wonderful decor piece.
The possibilities of use for this bin are only limited by your imagination.
Open up your mind and you will be surprised how many ways you can think of to use this basket.
The condition is fair or fabulous depending on how you look at it.
There are mars, marks, scratches, stains and discolorations.
I am not sure what this is made out of, it is either galvanized metal or aluminum.
It has been lightly washed but could possibly use more to see if some of the interior staining can be removed.
Size - 32"L x 16.25"W 11.5"H
If you need your item shipped with a particular carrier let me know. We will always try to pick the least expensive way to ship, that gets item to you in the amount of time you want it or faster. Example if you pick Priority and FedEx is cheaper we go with FedEx. If you pick Smart Post and Priority is cheaper we go with Priority. We then refund the
difference.
The majority of the items we sell are estate finds. As a result, we describe our items to the best of our ability. Our opinion on the condition of each item is completely subjective. Therefore, please enlarge the photos to draw a better conclusion on your own. If you feel you cannot see item well enough please ask questions or request more photos. Color may vary between individual computer monitors.
The white spots in the pictures are reflections of my photography lights.
We use lights when taking our pictures which sometimes make items appear slightly lighter in color than what they actually are. Please question color if you are looking for something specific so you are not disappointed.
YOUR SHIPPING ADDRESS IS A PO BOX PLEASE CHOOSE THE USPS SHIPPING OPTION OR FEDEX SMART POST DEPENDING ON YOUR ZIP CODE OR GIVE AN ALTERNATE ADDRESS. FED EX HOME DELIVERY DOES NOT DELIVER TO PO BOXES. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

My husband Jim and I are not professionals, we sell on eBay as a hobby.  Because we are not professionals we do not inspect or evaluate our items professionally.  We do a lot of research before we list our items and try to describe them as thoroughly and accurately as we can.  If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask before you buy.  I try to look for messages every hour or two so hopefully there will not be a long delay.  We place great importance on your business,and we appreciate that you are looking at our store.  We strive for 100%, good feedback ratings.  We will do what it takes to make sure you are satisfied with your product and for the service that we provide for you.  Please do not leave neutral or negative feedback without first reaching out to us.  Thank you, Lori
As in almost all vintage items this piece has signs of wear, with some possible scratches and scuffs.  All of these things added together is what makes these vintage pieces so attractive to us.  It takes us back to an earlier, simple time, when things were not throwaway and disposable.  reclaim-bring it back home.  repurpose-chances are it won't be used in its original form, the possibilities of use are only limited by your imagination.  reuse-too much from our lives is throwaway.  We need to find new and creative ways to reuse, so we do not completely drown in the disposable:)
PAYMENT AND SHIPPING- Paypal payment is appreciated and due within 3 days.  If you have another preferred method of payment please ask.If you need more than three days please let me know.  We ship the same day or the next day once payment is received, unless it is a Weekend or Holiday.  We will gladly combine shipping for more than one purchase on the same day.  If you want to combine with an item that is ending in a few days let us know and will hold the first shipment.
If items are never received that is the buyers responsibility, we will keep records on our end as proof  that item in fact was shipped. I always compare prices of all major carriers in order to get you the buyer the lowest possible price.

ank you
