A ledger page featuring an advertisement with an attached note titled "Old Warrior - Tulare - and POMO INDIAN BASKETS ". Below it reads
"???? as I sell Winnebagos and advanced Collectors. They are very scarce" d Pomo Indian Baskets,"
There are two black and white pictures attached to the page that showcase various baskets of different shapes and sizes, artfully arranged on a stand and hung on a wall, highlighting their intricate designs. The first is labeled 2 and 3, and also provides the prices between the two sections between $6.00 and $45.00, used for work or storage, while the smaller, more decorative upper baskets are priced at $1.50 each, suggesting their appeal to collectors or museums.
Additional handwritten notes appear scattered across the page.
