Clothes Hamper Vintage 1940s Value?

[Pelady]

Hawkeye Hamper: Original to a 1946’s bathroom with those peach and black tiles.  Very substantial compared to today’s hampers.  What do you think would be the value?

The inside of the hamper is coated with a fuzzy sprayed on material to keep it from snagging clothing.

Most are running between $40. and $60. I think this would be at the top end of that !!  If in good condition !!

I kid you not!!!!  We had the very same hamper growing up!!!!!!  However, our wooden bottom ended up busting thru - we kids would use it as one of our hiding places playing hide-n-seek!  LOLOL  Great memories!

Now the inside of ours did not have that coating - just wicker.  So either it was a "step up" or someone coated it.  I can't say as I have seen any of them have that inside.  Smart tho for the snag factor - but probably not so good for the bacteria/dirt factor.

In pristine condition would sell between $30 - $50 in my neck of the woods.

Thanks Ladies,

KC it was in my family home too LOL!  It survived over 60 years.  Must of been a “step up”  because it always had the fuzz inside.  Weird how many things all of us have in common.
