The little bit I have learned about 'em, I assume they're from the Northwest.
That's where his grandfather was from.
APPRAISER: So these are actually Paiute baskets.
So they're Gr, a Great Basin tribe.
So very arid desert landscape.
GUEST: Oh, my gosh, really.
APPRAISER: These are actually water jugs.
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: The smaller one, a little personal canteen.
The larger would be one to haul water.
Both of these vessels would have been coated with a, a substance called pitch.
That's a derivative of pine.
The pitch would have covered the whole body.
And you can really see it, these globs of dark texture on the fibers of the handle.
And you can see it throughout the body, as well.
So what this would do is, it would waterproof it.
You do have a little bit of damage on the neck here, probably from use.
These weren't made for the trade.
They were made for personal use.
GUEST: Wow, okay.
APPRAISER: And when they wouldn't need 'em anymore, they could e, they would discard 'em, and sometimes the easiest thing to do would be to sell them.
GUEST: Sure.
APPRAISER: To make some money along the way.
These baskets would date to the fourth quarter of the 19th century...
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: ...about 1880 to 1900.
If these were to come to auction as a pair, I would expect 'em to bring in the $500 to $700 range.
GUEST: Oh, wow, okay.
APPRAISER: They're a really fun, unique basketry item that we don't always see.
GUEST: Well, I appreciate it.
