I spotted a Woolworth cart a few years back at my local mall (ironicly, it was being used by one of those "cart vendors" who had set up right outside the former Woolworth store.) I think it was small, dark gray, with a red Woolworth logo and possibly had a slogan underneath it, but I don't remember

Heres a basket.

I was just using a basket identical to the one in that attachment that was in an independent dollar store in my city today.

And here's a pic taken at that dollar store. It's located in a strip mall at Eureka Road and 3rd Street in Wyandotte, Michigan (which also contains a Dunkin Donuts and a Marathon station).

Cool!  My last time inside a Woolworths was in Columbus, Ohio in 1993.

Flying Saucers, a retro/nostalgic shop in Asbury Park, NJ used Woolworth baskets when I last visited a few years ago.  They also had plastic bags that looked to be pretty recent, with an odd script Woolworth logo and some sort of a map on it.
