1995 Longaberger Family Basket from the Traditions Collection. This Classic stain basket is the first in this collection, which was started in 1995, designed by Dave Longaberger, who determined the qualities of Family, Community, Fellowship, Hospitality and Generosity were the most important qualities for people to possess. This series features Heritage Green weave and trim with all unique forms. This basket (Form No. 19101) has a Commemorative Brass Tag identifying it as part of the Traditions Collection, a swinging handle. The combo includes the Protector (No. 49107), a collector's box for the basket and the Green Plaid Traditions Fold-Over Liner (No. 29122). The liner was not made available for this basket until 1996 and the basket was only available from May thru June of 1995. Dimensions: 15.25 inches x 11 inches x 7 3/4 inches. Paperwork for the basket (a specially designed product card) is included. I even found the 1995 flyer for this collection and will include it.

All of my Longaberger items have always been in a smoke-free home; our last pet (a cat) left us in January of 2001. The baskets and accessories have been in inside storage for several years. This basket was only out of its box for me to examine it when it was received.
