1998 Longaberger Hospitality Basket from the Traditions Collection. This collection 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 Classic stain basket (Form No. 10669) has a Brass Tag identifying it as part of the Traditions Collection, a stationery handle and the combo includes the Protector (No. 40665), the Heritage Green Plaid Fold-Over Liner and Heritage Green Plaid Handle Grip which fastens with velcro. The basket was only available for a few months in 1998. Dimensions: 18.5 inches x 13.5 inches x 5.25 inches. Handle is approximately 9 inches high (over the basket). Paperwork for the basket is included.

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 their accessories have been in inside storage for several years.
