Occasionally I come across items that I not sure what its prior life was.  It is great fun though to get the opinion of other dealers & friends.  Here is something that came from a large lot that I bought from a local farm.

It is shaped as a ram and believed to be an old scoop.

Any other ideas are welcomed although it would make a wonderful container for succulents.

One of the most desirable types of vintage furniture is from the industrial era.  Great lines and built to outlast us all.  It is hard to find nice functional pieces.   When they do come in, they often fly right out.  Currently there is this great stool with all that industrial has to offer.  It is priced at $150.00.  Shipping available in the U.S.A..  Email Mary@VintageInspired.net with your zip code for a quote.
