<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 1028722, member: 6444&quot;]Next up to sort and organize are the baskets I&#039;ve collected over the years. Anything that looked even vaguely interesting I set aside without research. In an attempt to make sense of them, I bought a few of the books [USER=301]@komokwa[/USER]&nbsp; recommended in the reference book thread <a href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/reference-books.81/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/reference-books.81/">https://www.antiquers.com/threads/reference-books.81/</a>. And that has helped a little. But unlike wood and metal, which I have a great deal of experience with (making, repairing, modifying), I&#039;ve never tried to make a basket so I know I am missing a lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are a lot of baskets, and I&#039;ve taken a lot of pictures. The towel and grid both have one inch squares to figure out the size. I can&#039;t see starting thirty different posts, so I&#039;ll try to group them. I&#039;ll start with the ones that I think are less interesting, and work my way up to the ones that I think are better. That will take a few posts, so please bear with me if you think these are crap, since they will get better (I hope).</p><p><br /></p><p>So these are I think African or Chinese and fairly recent. Part of sorting will be to get rid of things, and I have no idea of value since I&#039;ve paid very little if anything, and never sold any basket. So besides where and when made, I&#039;d really appreciate any pointers on which if any are better and should be put aside regardless of where it was made.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]207738[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]207739[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]207740[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]207741[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]207742[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]207743[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]207744[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]207745[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
