Finishing touches are added, and in the Longaberger tradition, the basketmaker proudly initials and dates the bottom of the basket. • Approximate measurements: 11" x 5” x 7.5" • Excellent vintage condition • Handcrafted basket features the Longaberger, Dresden, OH, USA burn and the weaver's initials and production year • Basket Care Instructions: Easily clean basket with a dry brush • Protector Care Instructions: Wash with warm soapy water
