A Collection of Wastebaskets

Armour...Poinsettia

      This is mind-boggling. Forty wastebaskets! At one time I may have owned as many as twelve––now reduced to tour.
   With these pictures, Charlie is sharing another group of his extensive collection.

When possible the company's catalog name is used, but many are yet unknown. Collectors have given names to many motifs, using what seems to be the most obvious feature.

I hope all the captions 'fit' the photos. This group has wandered around the page, determined to find their very own choice spot instead of the one I choose, and I can only hope they took their names with each move.

Again, I thank Charlie for sharing another large part of his collection with us. Sharing collections, or a recent purchase, was the purpose of starting The Aluminist back in the '80s. That, and publishing the continuing updates on the industry, remains our purpose today.

A few more items have been added to the sale list (see Sales on the list of pages above), and more will be added soon.
