Coast Salish Imbricated Basket

Hi,
This belongs to a friend of mine, trying to determine where and when this would have been made. I'm thinking Coast Salish, age, I don't have a clue.
This is a good size, 9"H x 8 1/2".
Any information appreciated.
thanks for looking

 

classic Thompson River basket...Salish....
I'd say late 1920's to early 1930's.....give or take 5 years...

The raised inner rim , and cross weave ...repeated on the outer base ....I'm not used to seeing that earlier....

 

Thank-you Komokwa! He paid $750 for it, does that seem like a good price to you?

 

Oh , hell no !!!
Earlier ones are widely available......at much less.....

Meaning no offense...but if he wants mine for $750....it's all his !!!

 

No offense taken, they came by to show me the basket and wondered about the age and the price - I said I had no idea and would ask. He thought it was a good price and he likes it so he will be fine, but I don't think his wife will want to hear this, lol.
I'll show him your basket - looks very nice

 

I'm not looking inside of that!!

 

For you....I'll cut $250 off the top !

 

Nothing to fear...here !!!

 

well. not my idea of a "threesome"

 

I have certainly had more, uh, interesting propositions.

 

I've had propositions from snakes, too.
Most of them without merit.
I'm making a ribald joke here, although I'm not sure I get it.
