Sewing Baskets... I'm Clueless and researching...

Okay... so I don't know much about baskets, but grabbed a few up to get the stuff inside of them at an auction. So this post is dedicated to the baskets that I got and hope that with some help from Google and others that I can figure out what they are called and maybe who made them.  When I find a website or two while researching I'll post the links to the blog for fast research later in a similar manner to my Vintage or Antique Sewing Machine blog posts. :-)

 
This basket is a nice size. It is sitting on top of the Wards Brunswick sewing machine cabinet. It has all sorts of notions in it. The lid comes completely off and the handle is stationary. It is oval shaped.

The second basket is more squared and the lid is easily removed. The two handles will move out of the way to each side for easier access to the basket.

It had some needlework things in it and some patterns hiding in it. Nice sized as well on top of the same cabinet as the basket above.

This next basket is rather interesting. It's a nested basket with 2 baskets and one lid. The handle is stationary. 


The top picture shows it in the two separate baskets and the bottom picture is of it put together. Pretty neat basket.

The last basket I had gotten was this pretty blue one. I've left all the goodies I got in it instead of taking the picture of it empty.


So that is the baskets I have that I need help with identification. Like how to name them mainly. :-)
