- LONGABERGER is a upscale basket company that was located in Ohio and very familiar to us Midwesterners. I wanted to share some of my knowledge about these collectibles so you know what to look for when you are out thrifting & going to yard sales. Some of their baskets, pottery, wrought iron & home decor can bring in quite a return. Thanks for watching and if you have any further questions or need help identifying a certain piece feel free to message me on IG. All of my links & platforms are below!

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 🤣
Truest statement I’ve heard about these baskets…lol.
Enjoy your gifts they are a great and well done collection very authentic... when the founder Dave Longaberger a good Christian Simplistic& hardworking man who learned to weave the baskets from his family by hand and so usable and lasting When Dave Longaberger was alive all baskets & pottery, protectors, liners everything was made in the USA 🇺🇸 a real treasure!
I believe a lot!!! Of husbands has stated such 😂. Does anyone know if there are individuals who enjoy the USA pewter ornaments?
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.
Yeah, I wish they were worth what they used to be. Maybe someday they will be again. Thank you for watching!
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.
You’re welcome! Sounds like you’ve been finding them for some great prices.
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 still use them also. Thanks for watching.
I’ve decorated my Christmas trees every year since 2007 with all my miniature baskets & my smaller baskets. then when I got the CC Pinecone ornaments, I added those to the tree as well.
I have the same St. Patrick Day basket. I also have a Boyd’s bear that matched the basket. I still love it!
Longaberger and Dresden and company baskets have been my addiction for 30 plus years.
That's great. I had that addiction for a while too.
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
I love baskets. I’ll keep my eye out for a sewing basket!
@lolitalolita7561 - I just acquired a Sewing Basket- the CC version. I’d sell it.
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!
Thanks for the tip about the leaf. $500 is crazy money for the pottery! Great job!! You have a beautiful collection.
Thank you and thanks for watching. If you ever need any help let me know.
Anyone you know collecting pewter ornaments USA made collection?
I was so glad to run upon your video. I love my longaberger but not many people are interested any more.
I know it. I hope they will become desirable again. Thanks for watching!
Deena - This was FANTASTIC - Thank you!! Longaberger is something I’ve never been familiar with!
Thanks Kari! Happy to help.
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.
Yeah they have declined in value for sure.
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 hope the value goes up also on the baskets. Some things do still sell well. I sold a 9x13 for $75.
@ThriftyJunker - I purchased 2 HOH Pink 9x13 baking dishes when they had them for a BOGO free special pricing back from Longaberger. I’ve never used them tgeg are still in the box shipped from Longaberger.
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.
Yeah, it as big back in the day. Hoping they come back around.
I'm so glad you made this video. I will definitely be on the lookout for longerber
I’m glad it may help others!
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.
There is so much to them. Glad to help with a few tips.
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 for watching. Happy to help!
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
You’re welcome. Glad you enjoyed it. Happy hunting!
My sister and I have a lot too here in Florida. We still love them
I still use many of mine also. Thanks for watching.
I will definitely look for longerber from
now on.
Thank you I genuinely treasure this video a breath of fresh air to me! 💝🇺🇸🙌
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this awesome informative video!❤❤❤
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
Happy to share my knowledge.
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…
Congrats! If you need any help identifying them feel free to send me an email. It’s under the description in this video.
Learned a lot…thxs for sharing Info
You’re welcome
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
Yes, some are listed way too high for the shape they are in. I take care of mine. Thanks for watching.
Alright... I'm watching!
Hope you enjoyed it.
Great video thanks !!
Thanks for watching!
Would you or someone you know be interested in a hundred or so antique and collectible baskets?
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.
I scream at them also...lol. I live in a place where they are plenty. Let me know if there are any you are looking for.
When I watched the HGTV show Windy City Rehab, Alison Victoria was in one of her favorite antique shop in Chicago and walked right past a cabinet full of Longaberger Baskets: Gathering, Market, Candle, Serving Tray and 2 Teas- all in the Classic stain. I was yelling “ Longaberger!!! Longaberger!!! Longaberger!!! Those are Longaberger!!!”
@kimmyjeans2 - this was during last season shows.
Hi new subscribers here!❤❤❤
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 hope so cause I have a bunch also. I heard they were bought by someone but not sure if it’s true.
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
Well it’s not a bad idea for baskets with water damage or cosmetic damage. Chalk paint or any matte paint would look very nice. But their beauty really comes from the natural maple wood.
I have question I recently found a bunch and no clue about them or there worth anyone I can contact you fb email anything
You can use google lens to try to find the baskets you have & see what others have them listed for. There are also LONGABERGER collectors groups on Facebook that you may be able to sell them for more.
too many "umm"s made this too annoying to watch
