Vintage Anishinaabe First Nation Indian Quill Birch Bark Sweetgrass Basket Box
Item History & Price
Offered is a pretty vintage Great Lakes Anishinaabe Native First Nation Quill Birch Bark and Sweetgrass Basket Box, purchased by original owner at Long Point Beach in Ontario. This probably dates to the 1950-70s. It measures 3 1/2" by 2". A nice older box. The quills on maple leaf have faded but none are missing. One broken on one edge leaf. Black thread loosening on one side and some of the fancy criss-cross design quills are broken or missing. Please see pictures. ...General Information about our business, shipping, holding items, etc.: * Most of the items we sell come from our personal collection gathered over the years from our travels, from Native powwows and craft stores, antique shops, auctions and estate sales. Now that our kids are in college and beyond, we are letting some items go so others can enjoy them. *We will gladly combine orders to save you on shipping charges. Please email for a combined invoice before paying. Sometimes a few first class items jump to priority pricing ($7.25 and up) because weight puts a package over the 16 ounce limit. Sorry, I can't combine collectibles and book/Magazine purchases. *If you want me to hold items for the next week's auction, please contact me and wait to pay until the last auction ends. Then I'll send you a combined invoice. If you pay right away, I will NOT be able to hold your items due to Ebay's ship within 1-day after payment rule. Please tell me if you are waiting for next week's auction. If you don't communicate and don't pay, you will get an automated non-paying bidder notice from Ebay after 4 days. Thank you!*International Buyers: I will mail first class to Canada but to all other locations, I prefer to mail priority to insure your item arrives safely. Please email me with questions. Sorry for the expense, but I've had items lost overseas when mailing first class and don't want to take the risk of losing items.*I pack carefully and try to reuse materials to save on environmental impact. I often double-box items with smaller gift boxes collected from various thrift stores. Though I don't like styrofoam peanuts for environmental reasons, I have found they are the best at protecting fragile items against damage during shipping. I reuse all that I receive and hope you will make use of the ones that come in your packages. Thank you. * Please contact us before leaving negative feedback if something isn't right with your item. We want you to be satisfied with your purchase
