MINIATURE SOUTHWEST NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN BASKET

I JUST ACQUIRED A COLLECTION OF VERY BEAUTIFUL MINI BASKETS. 

THE 80-YEAR-OLD LOCAL RESIDENT TOLD ME THESE WERE HER UNCLES'S WHO PASSED AWAY ABOUT 25 YEARS AGO. HE ACQUIRED THEM ON HIS HONEYMOON WHEN HE LIVED IN CALIFORNIA AND TRAVELED THROUGHOUT THE SOUTHWEST. FIGURING BACK IN TIME SHE THOUGHT HE WOULD HAVE BEEN MARRIED BETWEEN THE 1920S AND 1940S.

THE WEAVING IS VERY FINE. I AM NOT SURE IF THEY WERE MADE BY THE PIMA INDIANS OR A DIFFERENT TRIBE. 

THE CONDITION IS REMARKABLY GOOD.

This is a shot from above. Each one is like a perfect miniature work of art! 

ANTIQUE MINIATURE BASKET #2

Imagine starting to weave with a square base and ending up with a round upper rim!

I find the workmanship extraordinary.



ANTIQUE NATIVE AMERICAN SOUTHWEST MINIATURE BASKET #3

This one has beautiful openwork.
Even a spider would have trouble competing with this weaver!


ANTIQUE NATIVE AMERICAN SOUTHWEST MINIATURE BASKET #4

This one is fairly tightly woven. 
The bottom is as pretty as the top!
We are always looking for great antique Native American Indian baskets and pottery.  We buy antiques every day. Click here to visit Gannon's Antiques Mall website. You can see other Native American Antiques we carry or contact us about yours.

COLLECTION OF VINTAGE FLY FISHING LURES
This is a collection of 38 fly fishing lures in a display box. I'm not a flyfisherman but some of these look really cool.

There appears to be several different types of material used. 
We sell a lot of vintage and antique Lures, fishing-rod's, nets and other antique fishing memorabilia as we get it in.
