Rustic knitting basket made out of sticks from the set of On Golden Pond, measuring approximately 12 x 12 x 5, signed on the front in black ink by Henry Fonda. On the set, this basket held yarn and knitting needles. In fine condition, with general wear and one of the bottom sticks repaired with tape (as it was on set).
The basket was acquired directly from the set by Dick Sutton, who worked as Henry Fonda's chauffeur during filming. Accompanied by a signed copy of Driving Henry Fonda by Dick Sutton, a 48-page memoir about his time working on the film and the friendships he formed. In the book, he writes: "At the end of the movie they offered anybody who was on the set different props they didn't want to take all the way back to California, so they put up things for bid."
