UNIDENTIFIED PAIR OF PRESSED GLASS SALT SHAKERS WITH "EXCELSIOR" PATENTED LIDS, blue, cylindrical form pressed with an unidentified checkerboard pattern of finecut squares and blocks, original Britannia multiple-arm agitator lid with "PAT. DEC. 28 1886" impressed around the top edge. Circa 1887. 4 1/8" H.
Literature: Peterson - Glass Salt Shakers, p, 21, fig. T, and text pp. 74, 75.
Catalogue Note: The maker of these self-sealing shakers is unknown, although they must closely relate to the rare "Excelsior" barrel-form shakers, which seem to utilize the same patented closure. Examples of the more famous "Excelsior" salt are offered in this sale as lots 125 and 128. 

Condition

Both shakers excellent with each having minor pattern flaking to bodies as well as typical annealing lines and slight roughness around mouth, and one having one moderate sized chip to mouth (concealed by its lid); lids excellent with minor corrosion.

Provenance

The estate collection of Richard and Lesley Harris, Branchville, NJ.
