I recently bought a secondhand Raleigh Shopper for the sole purpose of nipping down to the shops. I rigged up a jury-rigged arrangement for carrying stuff on the rear rack but am wondering what basket is meant to attach to the little frame on the front? In the attached photo it's the lower frame which doesn't rotate with the wheel. (The bag at the top, fixed with the red strap is the Carradice bar bag from my nice 80s road bike.)

I think @meta lon has the answer. It was
for some kind of wire basket. An old-skool bike shop should know (and may even have one).
I think that it must be for some kind of clip on wire basket too. I've never seen a photo of such an arrangement though. That frame is welded to the head tube but has no platform to it. If it did have a platform, I could lash a small bag to it with bungee cords.
Looking at Google search results again, I see most of the front baskets sit on a rack/platform arrangement. However the. 5th (?) I think does show a wire basket attached to a frame like mine. I can't see the detail of how it attaches: I presume there must be straps.

Anti grav i reckon, time for cycling on the ceiling. We'll have to build inverted velodromes.
