Pie Taker Basket, Picnic Basket, West Rindge Baskets, Woven Wood, Picnic Hampers
This is a charming pie taker picnic basket by West Rindge Baskets of Rindge, New Hampshire. It is woven from thin strips of wood with a wood lid and a hook closure. A perfect basket for picnics, trips to the beach, or anywhere you need to take a lunch along. The pie carrier is missing but a new one could be made and added. It would also be useful for storage around the house. The basket is sturdy, with solid hinges and handles. This is a wonderful basket for those great spring, fall, and summer outings.
The Taylor family started the company in 1925 and for 81 years, the Taylor family has woven baskets at the West Rindge Basket Co. West Rindge Basket once sent baskets to Ronald Reagan and Metro Goldwyn Mayer. At its peak, the company sold 40 varieties of baskets. Waste-baskets, clam-baskets, apple-baskets, and harvest-baskets are among the discontinued offerings.
Size:
7 1/2 inches in height
13 inches in length

This was made in the 1950s.
This is in excellent condition. The only defect I can find is in the inside back left corner. There is a broken woven piece where the side weaving meets the bottom. It has a hook closure and it works perfectly. The top as minor paint speckles.
