About 1890s large Mill decorative pine crate (Crate 4) 1890s large Mill decorative pine crate. We were recently contacted about the clearance of an old textile mill West of Leeds, the mill had stopped working as a textile mill many years ago and was now refurbishing electronic components. Hidden at the back of one of the workshops we found a group of the original mill equipment, workbenches, storage boxes and so on. The crate is a generous size, they make brilliant log baskets/storage boxes or just decorative crates. The crate has a twisted wire construction as shown. The markings, stamped on are totally original, even the oval makers stamp WM Bannister & Co Ltd Cowling Nr. Keighley.
