Can't say as that I know much, but I do currently live in Marinette, WI and would be happy to help. I -do- know that when somebody says "wicker" and "Marinette" or "Menominee", it is a safe bet that it came from the Lloyd-Flanders wicker factory in Menominee. They have been in business since 1900, I believe. Jason Flatt - feel free to e-mail me at: DocFlatt@cybrzn.com
