I like and use my retro hamper. In back, on the metal, the words "Detecto scales and hampers, New York," are stamped. This is in great condition, considering it dates from the 1950s. I found this at a yard sale about a year ago and paid around $2.00.
The floral design and paint are a little worn in some areas, but otherwise this metal hamper is in wonderful shape. In contrast, the previous hamper that I used, which I had purchased from a department store about 10 years ago, was falling apart.
