About MeCylindrical perforated copper strainer with brass rim contained within a wicker basket. The basket has a green canvas lining around the opening. The strainer is used when taking water out of a river or other water source which may contain debris which would clog the pump and hose. The basket provides an initial filter. The brass rim of the strainer is stamped "NE1" in two places.
