originally a butler would sweep crumbs off the table into this people also used these when emptying ashtrays into these in the 40's 50's and 60's..though this one shows no signs of being used for that purpose and was decorative

there is no rust..not sure where you are referring too..if it's the 2nd picture , by the handle..that is a reflective off the orange sheet..clicking on the pic will give you a better view of the condition..as stated this is an older piece and does have some wear and scratches to the paint
