Features a ribbon-candy crimp featured on this special basket, a remake of a "ribbon-candy" crimp used in the earliest years of the company circa 1907. It is referred to and shown in the "first Twenty-Five Years" book on pages 25, 50 and 82. This basket also has an additional touch of a "Lily Crimp" that is pulled down on either side.
