Mystery Object of the Month: What Is It?

“I found this gadget in a second-hand store. Nobody knew what it was used for,“ writes Virginia Cahill of Abottsford, B.C. “It measures 10 inches in length and the basket is only three inches wide. The basket has a hinge at the top that opens it and a loop that slides to keep it closed. Any idea as to what it could be?”
