This great favor basket is from the era when Beistle’s dominance of the marketplace was in full bloom. Made during the interval 1927-1931, each of the four designs is well-executed. They make great display items. The damage to this example is minimal considering the stress the item was put under each time the honeycomb base was open and closed. (I’ve opened mine once - and they stay that way.)
08/15 Update: This sold for a sum in a vicinity of normality - $250.
