The bottom of the basket has.Mahlon Gingerich Family 2010. Ive bought Amish stuff before and they tend to write the date of when they made it on the bottom. Heres a cute story read it: Just a cute story! I stopped at a roadside stand at the Gingerich house on MacDowell Road (I mention the road because there are zillions of Gingerich mailboxes all over the area see below). Mrs. Gingerich, a wonderfully cheerful, energetic, and friendly lady, came out and we chatted while I bought bread and fried pies and a beautiful basket made by one of her sons and his family In the course of chatting, Mrs Gingerich let it drop that she has 103 grandchildren!!! No wonder there are Gingerich mailboxes everywhere and the settlement is expanding!! CHECK OUT MY STORE FOR OTHER ITEMS! WILL BUNDLE & COMBINE SHIPPING!
