You've got to see this:
Ltd Edition Mercedes "Bertha Benz" Picnic Basket... might make a terrific Mercedes Gift!
Now, this a very special picnic basket that I've put lots of work into making it truly "unique". For example, I'll take new
or like new wicker picnic baskets and turn them into "Mercedes" Baskets by modifying them using authentic Mercedes
18 carat gold Porcelain, Silverware, many times Mercedes literature, lapel pins, M-B wheel Logos, Stuttgart City Maps and a Certificate of Authenticity plus a "surprise". Each basket is a One-Off made with your particular vehicle or "wish" in mind say for a Birthday, Anniversary, Christmas, Club Reward, simply a present for that Mercedes Fan, etc. If you show your Mercedes at an
event this basket will draw attention and may help with the judging. The wine bottle shown is just for demonstration purposes.

Birthday Gift from Anna
"W129, SL500"
Stuttgart, Germany
B. Letter of Authenticity
All Porcelain items are All Original from Stuttgart, Germany that I imported almost 16 years ago, maybe more now
that think about it. Anyway, these porcelain pieces and silverware are all from the Mercedes VIP Guest Restaurant
in Germany located near the new Mercedes-Benz Museum in Esslingen (Stuttgart). Further, the porcelain items are
from Schoenwald "Porzelan" a famous company located in the eastern part of Germany and are 18 carat gold-plated.
They are part of Daimler History from an era which featured GOLD in the porcelain, but unfortunately the microwave
put an end to that. In fact, some of these porcelain pieces were NEVER used, just stored away, and in the original boxes
when I received the shipment from Germany into Baltimore, MD.
Basket Size: L: 18" x H: 10-1/2" to the handles W: 10 3/4"
