3. Winnowing-baskets. These have various names, that of Vane of Vannet being

The four implements, viz. prime, iron, cutting-knife, and outsticker, used in
basket-making are represented on the insignia of the Basket-makers' Company: --

4. Weel: Fish-weel or Fish-basket is a contrivance still used in rivers to
catch fish. The charges appear to be drawn in various ways, but of those
attached the first is the more ordinary form of a weel, while the second seems
to be usually blazoned a fish-basket. The terms eel-pots, weir-baskets, occur
in describing certain crests, and they have been mistaken for flasks, jars,
&c., e.g. in the arms of Willard.
