I have pictures of a basket I won recently at a fundraiser that claimed it was a Longerberger basket. I closely looked at the basket, and have reason to believe that it ISN'T a Longerberger Basket. There are no marks on this basket, and someone black magic marked out something on the bottom. I'm afraid they blacked out the Made is Taiwan stamp.
