Peach baskets?

[Mark Padgett]

I can't find any specific information as to when the bottoms were taken off the peach baskets. The reason I got interested in this was that I was watching a TV show - "The Artful Detective" and they showed a women's basketball team practicing. One of the women dribbled, then made a two handed set shot that went through a peach basket. There was no bottom on the basket. The show takes place in the year 1900. I thought the bottoms came off after that. Anybody have any accurate info?

BTW - the show takes place in Toronto and is made by a Canadian production company. It's actually a police detective show and it is excellent. If fact, it's one of the best detective series I've ever watched in my over 50 years of watching television. It's on the Ovation cable network.
