My SECOND Davis basket!!

I scored another one!  Same place as before, an online auction from J Street Vintage, Jefferson City, Mo.

This one is another oak one (my favorite type), strips are tapered from 1 1/4 inch to 1 inch. 

The original hang tag just sucked me in! I am a little sad that this does not include the original price. But the tag may be even better.




It's a 12-inch, square bottom basket.



This one is 13 1/2 inches across and flat bottomed. It too was purchased through an online auction from J Street, May 2022. I'm seeing a trend here. I'm waiting for the next one to show up!




You see what I see?  The original price of $3.98.  This has to be a very early one.
