**Due to the size and/or fragile nature of this piece, this item is available for complimentary delivery to locations in or near Wynnewood, Pennsylvania (zip code 19096) or by special shipping arrangements. If interested, please email hello@thestandingrabbit.com to discuss options** A split oak handled basket handmade by Alexander J. Gustavis of Franklinville, New Jersey. The shallow basket measures 14" long, 13 1/2" wide and 7 1/2" high. The bottom is stamped "A.J. Gustavis Franklinville, NJ" and the condition is good overall. There is some roughness to the handle and maybe some light scratches here and there due to age and use but nothing that jumps out. This is a beautiful basket. I found this info from a Worthpoint product description of another one of his baskets: "The company was in business in Northampton, Massachusetts from 1935-54. He moved to Southern New Jersey and opened Delsea Basket Co. in Clayton, NJ, then moved the business to Franklinville, NJ. He died in 1995."
