For some reason, I never remember seeing this at Grandma's, though I am sure it had long been sitting in the same place at the bottom of the basement stairs.
I am certainly glad that it caught my eye and that the family agreed to let me have it.
It seems old, and if I took a little closer look, I am certain I could find a date on one of the old newspapers lining the inside.
So the question is, how should I restore this? I need some ideas so I don't mess it up, as I want this to have a prominent place in all of my kitchens from here on out.
