Maxine is 100% correct. I'll add that there is not a lot of money represented in that group.

I'm "late to the show," but I agree, Maxine and Sonoma are correct, none of these are Native American Indian baskets, although they are often mistaken for such, and quite frequently are offered for sale as authentic Indian baskets.
On the first basket, the herringbone rim finish, and the scalloped border rim, are not found in any NA Indian tribe, but are frequently found on baskets from Morocco, and also on Pakistani "copies" of Native American Indian baskets.
The next basket (and the last one} have wrapped coils, joined with a wrapped stitch, which allows you to see a space between the coils...also a technique not used on NA Indian baskets, but frequently on baskets from the Tolucca Valley in Mexico, on some African baskets, on Asian baskets. and now in many kits found in hobby shops world-wide. So it could have been made anywhere, but it does not feature techniques, construction, or materials used by any Indian tribe.
The conical-shaped basket is actually a lid to a common style of African basket, made by the Hausa tribe of Niger and neighboring regions of Nigeria.

Thank you for your help. I don't know anything about basket I was told the American made how about Thes.

Just so you know, these are not ebay employees answering your questions, they are ebay members just like you that answer your questions to try and help you out.

If you intend to buy baskets, may I suggest you purchase a copy of Art of the Basket: Traditional Basketry from Around the World by Bryan Sentance. It is beautifully illustrated, full of information about materials and techniques used in basket-making.
