KyWoods said:Yes, pretty! Did they used to make them from metal?

Yes!. When I was a kid, milk (and other things) used to be delivered to the houses in glass bottles and the milk crates the milkmen used were metal. I'm not old, mind you, just a senior! Rolling my eyes.
I have some plastic crates that are pretty good, but eventually parts can crack as they get older. I collected some from around a closed convenience store years ago. No company ever came to pick them up, so I figured recycling them was better than them sitting out there. I have one old metal milk crate that DH had for years at his former business.Wish I had more! They don't ever wear out.
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
Integrity can never be taken. It can only be given, and I wasn't going to give it up to these people. Gary Mowad
