Campbell Jones created this tiny sleigh in their pattern, ROSE SPRIG ca. 1886. It is all of 3 1/4" long, 2" high at the back & 1 7/8" wide. The attention to detail is amazing... even has 'wood grain' in those itty bitty sleigh runners! Do you think anyone actually used this as a master salt? SOLD



This particular shaker takes the prize for the most difficult piece of glass we've ever tried to photograph. And honestly, its not that easy to read 'in person'. So the front where the crack is says, "PROCLAIM LIBERTY THROUGHOUT THE LAND". And the back says, "1776 CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION 1876" The lid is not original... the original lid was constructed so that it could be hung. And it was not a shaker but a candy container! But this lid fits perfectly and makes it a shaker. So there. The shaker stands 3" tall and the base is 2 3/4" in diameter. $59
