Earlier I
wrote about a white oak basket I had in my collection from the Westfall family of Missouri. Here are some others by the same family.

| OK, you know you have too many baskets when you can't figure out what you did with one. |
You can tell that the above baskets are made by the third to present generation of the family by a simple signature feature. Below is the feature to tell the difference.
 |
| Antique baskets = no cross at handle and rim. |
 |
| Contemporary baskets = cross at handle and rim. |
Thanks so much for showing aunt Margie's work. And uncle Everette.
