Longaberger 1995 Darning Basket #15504
The Longaberger Company was founded in 1973 by Dave Longaberger as a family-owned and -operated maker of handcrafted maple wood baskets. At its peak the company had $1 billion in annual sales but a combination of recession and changing tastes in home decor led to declining sales, with the company finally filing for bankruptcy in 2018. The brand has since been acquired and relaunched by another company.
Every Longaberger basket is handcrafted, initialed and dated by the actual basket weaver
Longaberger\'s iconic headquarters in Ohio, built in the shape of a giant basket, still stands.
This basket is reminiscent of one to hold sewing items. The circular shape includes two leather carry handles attached to the sides.
Basket measures just under 10\" diameter and just over 4\" high. Height goes to about 5-1/2\" when taking into account the wooden lid and its knob.
The fabric liner is a beautiful steel blue plaid. The liner can be removed for cleaning by way of ribbon ties that loop under the carry handles.
Two (2) plastic protectors are included. One is the standard round type and the other is a 4-way divided protector, presumably for separating and organizing your sewing items.
The wooden lid has a color-coordinated knob to go with the liner, as well as beveled edges to allow it to fit with the liner in place.
Excellent condition, clean, no damage, kept by an experienced collector in a non-smoking household.
Also includes product card.
