Old Fishing Creel

This vintage fishing creel has warm brown wicker, a classic catch opening in the lid, and an olive-green shoulder strap with weathered leather and metal buckles. The wicker and straps show visible wear from age and use, which is half the reason I love it.

Set it on a cabin shelf, tuck it next to a stack of old fishing books, or poke a few evergreen sprigs through the lid for Christmas. No fish required.

one part of the leather strap was broken and the two ends tied together
