1998 Longaberger Collectors Club Membership Basket complete with an unusually extensive group of its original accessories, packaging and collector materials.The Longaberger Collectors Club was a special membership program that gave members access to exclusive club pieces, members-only products and other benefits beyond the regular retail line. The original welcome paperwork included with this set identifies the Membership Basket as the piece received when becoming a full-fledged Collectors Club member.The basket is handwoven in a warm natural honey-toned maple finish with dark navy blue accent weaving and coordinating dark navy top trim. Two wooden swing handles frame the original brass plaque marked “Longaberger Collectors Club Membership Basket.”Included is the original Membership Stripe fabric liner, still sealed in its Longaberger packaging and labeled LINER-MEMBERSHIP #21946. The fabric features deep navy blue and dark forest green vertical stripes with fine gold pinstripe accents, giving it a classic preppy, Polo-style country-club look that coordinates beautifully with the basket’s dark navy accent weaving.Also included is the fitted clear protector, original Longaberger box, original “Your Membership Basket Is Here!” welcome paperwork, Membership Basket brochure/literature, and boxed Collectors Club 5-Year Member Lapel Pin #77361.The boxed 5-Year Member Lapel Pin reflects continued Club membership and adds meaningful provenance to the set, making this grouping more significant than a basket-only example.What makes this example especially appealing is the level of completeness. Individual Membership Baskets can still be found, but examples retaining the basket, protector, sealed original liner, original box, membership paperwork, brochure and boxed member pin together are much more difficult to find, particularly in this condition.This set was only opened and assembled for photography for this listing and has otherwise remained together with its original materials.From a single-family Longaberger collection.Photos are part of the description.
