Longaberger baskets pottery & wrought Iron - What to look for when thrifting & reselling 

My step mom collects these. I've been getting them as gifts for years lol. My dad said that if his house burns it will be the most expensive fire in history 🤣

When I was collecting back in the mid to late 90's my consultant was showing us the difference between right and left-handed baskets - where the weaver of the basket was right or left handed. She only knew this because she was left-handed and when she was on the floor weaving her own basket as part of a tour, she had to have them switch the station so she could weave in her most comfortable position. The little collector's basket you have is a leftie! The top weave is the tell-tale sign. If it ends pointing to the left, it's a right-handed basket, and if it ends pointing to the right, it's a left-handed basket. Most of the baskets are right-handed, but I've always gotten excited about the left-handed ones! 😀

I always loved these baskets but never splurged on one. However today I came across three baskets at a thrift store, in excellent shape. I am so excited with my find 😊

Very thorough and informative video!! I collected a few in the mid 90’s and now revisiting Longaberger once again.

I also watch people doing hauls and walking right by these incredible baskets. I have found a few at my local Goodwill for pennies.

Thank you for this. I love these baskets and pick them up if they are reasonably priced. I found 2 at the bins, and several at Salvation Army. All under $1.00. But went to Alaska to visit my daughter and there were 2 in their GW for .......$69.99 each. On the shelf. And they were not a special edition or collectors edition. I just about croaked right there! Lol.

I loved the mini's,I decorated one of my Christmas trees with the minis every year,and still leave them out for decor now,I use all my baskets, especially in my bathrooms to this day.

I love baskets. I’ll keep my eye out for a sewing basket!

Thanks for the tip about the leaf. $500 is crazy money for the pottery! Great job!! You have a beautiful collection.

Had no idea it was an MLM. Didn't know it was a three piece set with the liners. Great tip on the leaf. Aftermarket custom lids!? This stuff goes deep.

Deena - This was FANTASTIC - Thank you!! Longaberger is something I’ve never been familiar with!

I was so glad to run upon your video. I love my longaberger but not many people are interested any more.

Learned a lot…thxs for sharing Info

I find Collectors Club full basket sets in pristine condition for pennies on the dollar at flea markets. My wife would sell them for $100 plus; now $15 or less.

I have a huge collection of these baskets and pottery. I’m hoping one day the market value goes back up so I can sell them. If any of you are near Blue Springs, Missouri the Brass Armidillo (antique mall) has so much of this stuff in it.

I love my little collection of Longaberger Baskets & Pottery (which are very authentic, many signed but not a lot...they are also endurable and usable fir many things and clean up beautifully, very sturdy . They store nice in a beautiful country manner. I miss hearing about them occasionally. All of mine were hand made in the USA 🇺🇸 . Founder & Owner Dave Longaberger was an awesome Christian man of Simplicity and hard work. His daughters did inherit the business but did not have the experience or insight their daddy possessed. I do not believe it was not intentional for Longaberger to slow & change. Yet life happens

Thanks for this awesome informative video!❤❤❤

My mom and sister had so many of these baskets. In fact my sister at one point was a basket hostess. Or whatever they call it. She sold it all off a few years ago.

Thank you very much this was so informative I was just givin Several pieces of the pottery and a few baskets from a friend of mine who was moving I feel like it's such a treasure and you have enlightened me so much as I go about looking for more pieces thank you very much God-bless

Alright... I'm watching!

Very informative! I've heard of these baskets and had no idea how to identify them. Now I know that there are pottery and iron pieces to be on the lookout for. Thank you!

Thank you I genuinely treasure this video a breath of fresh air to me! 💝🇺🇸🙌

My sister and I have a lot too here in Florida. We still love them

I have the same St. Patrick Day basket. I also have a Boyd’s bear that matched the basket. I still love it!

I always look for those great Longaberger baskets and can not find any. Thank you for sharing the history of the company. I did not Know they did Potter, I will have to start looking for them as well. I did not know that they even did the Wrought Iron stand, I love your collections. I really enjoyed hearing everything about the company and the history I did not know. I do the same thing when I am watching someone when Sourcing and I yell at the tube and they never hear me either, LOL

I'm so glad you made this video. I will definitely be on the lookout for longerber

I will definitely look for longerber from now on.

I bought the first (but 9 at once) Longaberger baskets today- I’m happy i learned about the company and it’s history, thank you! Mine may be older since they are not colorful like the ones you showed…

Thanks for all the info! I'll have to gather my many dozens of baskets in one place and see just what I have! Have found a bunch of them over the years at thrift stores....priced from 99 cents to 10 bucks. Once found a nested group of 6 like new Generation baskets, with all the accessories, for 6 bucks!

I think 🤔 people sales old baskets (in very bad shapes) very expensive. I love to get some more, but I can't afford some prices 😏 I love the baskets. I have like 7 . Thanks

Longaberger and Dresden and company baskets have been my addiction for 30 plus years.

Hi new subscribers here!❤❤❤

Love my baskets when I see folks pass them in videos I literally scream turn around omg !! It kills me since in my area they are hard to come by.

Great video thanks !!

Would you or someone you know be interested in a hundred or so antique and collectible baskets?

ARE YOU STILL SELLING ANY BASKETS IF YOU HAVE ANY LEFT. THANK YOU, PENNY

I believe these are going to one day pick up in value. what’s your thoughts? I see a lot of them at yard sales and have bought them when they’re cheap enough

I watched a lady whom has her own shop and the only way people will buy a longaberger basket from her store is if she has painted it,I have a small stroke Everytime she paints one,too

I have question I recently found a bunch and no clue about them or there worth anyone I can contact you fb email anything

too many "umm"s made this too annoying to watch

Um, um, um…
