    NA fer sure.......no pine needle there.....
    white or black ash ...with sweet grass.....most likely.
    to bad these puppies lose their color over time.....

    I'd say Penobscot....but cuz it's a trinket basket ...it could also hale from the Mic Mac, or Passamaquoddy , ... but it's safe to say North Eastern Woodlands.

    Circa 1930.....give or take.
    With the smaller less ornate baskets it's harder to date them exactly , and while yours is faded all over the outside , except for the base , which is one key to it's age ....if it was in the sun all day that would fade it faster.

    Ahhhh, now I'm leaning towards Mi'Kmaq..( Mic Mac , Migma....) , just cuz you say there's a made in Canada notation.....but I stand by the rest of my blah blah...!!:)
