Antique Woven Sweetgrass Basket with Thimble Basket & Sterling Silver Thimble – Tiny Mouse Tie Tack Included!

Measures:  2” tall, 3.75” across

There is no damage to the basket, it is skillfully and beautifully woven.  The thimble basket is missing the top but is otherwise in good condition.  The bottom of the larger basket shows the original blue that was woven in for decoration, this has faded over the years on the rest of the basket. The baskets likely date to the early 1900’s. The thimble is sterling silver, size 11.  It is out of round and has several small dents but no punctures.  The apex is very faintly marked “Sterling”.  The tiny mouse was attached to the basket when I found it and as he seems to be quite content, I will leave him there!
