This is just one basket lot in Our May 22 American Indian Basket Auction. Most of these baskets have been in Private hands for the past 70 years. The majority of this collection was purchased at Samuel Freeman Auctions in 1938.
These are being sold WITHOUT RESERVE and to the highest bidder. See our about me page for more information about our auctions.
Please remember that this is a LIVE auction. When leaving an absentee bid via ebay, we are never told your maximum bid. Because of this, it may be possible for a floor bidder, present at the live auction, to be recognized as the top bidder, matching your high bid. The next increment being above your top bid and thus no further bids placed on your behalf.
To prevent this, consider bidding the next higher bid increment as your absentee bid.
