Pine needle basket - NA?

50cents at the estate sale yesterday. It's a cute basket either way. 3" tall, 4" diameter. Very faint mark on bottom says "Made In Canada"

 

NA fer sure.......no pine needle there.....
white or black ash ...with sweet grass.....most likely.
to bad these puppies lose their color over time.....

I'd say Penobscot....but cuz it's a trinket basket ...it could also hale from the Mic Mac, or Passamaquoddy , ... but it's safe to say North Eastern Woodlands.

Circa 1930.....give or take.
With the smaller less ornate baskets it's harder to date them exactly , and while yours is faded all over the outside , except for the base , which is one key to it's age ....if it was in the sun all day that would fade it faster.

 

Ahhhh, now I'm leaning towards Mi'Kmaq..( Mic Mac , Migma....) , just cuz you say there's a made in Canada notation.....but I stand by the rest of my blah blah...!!

 

Nice find for 50cents.
