This basket is from our personal collection and was from the Mrs. J.W. Howard collection. Mrs. Howard was a prolific basket collector from the 1890's to the 1920's who collected over 300 baskets, so this basket may be older than the 20's. The collection was dispersed in the 1930's. Howard's identification tag and number are on the inside of the basket.
