I've been looking for a Poultry Crate - I like Vintage/Antiques, but sometimes the prices are prohibitive. This weekend I located a crate within my budget and a reasonable price, and it is definitely vintage! Weather-faded wood with worm holes in tact - rusty 'make-do' latch - no fuss, no muss. Just the way I like 'em! (click on pics to view larger sizes)
There was even lettering stenciled onto that old wood:
SOLD BY WM. GROEN & SON GRAND RAPIDS MI
How Cool is THAT?!?

Totally a great find. It did remind me of those old lobster traps too.
Oh my goodness!!! What a find.
Especially that it has the company name stamped on it and Grand Rapids to boot...love Western Michigan.
Happy 4th!
