Longaberger “Holiday Memory Basket” from the 1989 Christmas Collection, crafted in Dresden, Ohio, as confirmed by the brass nameplate and the stamping on the basket’s base. This edition is noted for its classic woven maple construction and distinctive green accent band, complemented by a sturdy swing handle.
Included with the basket are original inserts—a Longaberger Baskets care booklet, the “Holiday Memory Basket” card from the 1989 Christmas Collection, and a “The Night Before Christmas: More Than A Card” illustrated booklet, adding to the item’s completeness and collectible appeal.
The basket stands approximately 7 inches tall (not including the handle) and illustrates the high craftsmanship standards for which Longaberger is renowned.
Well-preserved, these pieces carry historical significance for basket collectors, especially those interested in Longaberger holiday editions.
