I'm liking the thought of human skull lamps-

On another topic... I just recieved a wicker removal basket from the
local mortuary- it was used to remove bodies from homes to the
funeral home- it has spent the last couple of decades in the rafters
of the mortuary garage- can you ballpark me how much I'm looking at
for a basic cleaning and a few repairs- the leather on the inside pad
is in pretty good shape so that isn't going to need repaired- it also
doesn't appear to have bat or bird droppings on it, just dirt and
some roofing residue (not tar, but the little rocks from asphalt
shingles)

thanks
