Descrizione:

A maker of scuttles or baskets. 1580 <i>Imprimis payd to stotele </i>[scotele?]<i> maker for on leape, two wyndo treles, & ij stotels </i>[scotels?]<i> iijs</i>, Stockeld (YRS161/17); 1586 <i>Edward Crawe, skutlemaker</i>, Wighill (YRS22/32). In Beverley, the <i>scuttellmakers </i>were linked in 1596 with the carpenters and joiners (YRS84/67). When George Murrey of Nosterfield was described as a <i>scuttle maker</i> in 1611, the editor, Canon Atkinson, said that in his day, that is 1884, the scuttle was a shallow open basket with a wide mouth, used for gathering potatoes and the like (NRQS1/208). The occupation was sufficiently distinctive to serve as a by-name as late as the seventeenth century: 1625 <i>James Scuttlemaker alias Tayler</i>, <i>younger</i>, Spofforth (YRS32/81).
