I am pleased to present this lovely pair of STERLING SILVER salts, dated on the
bottom rings, Mar 1, 1881. These salts were evidently a gift and
the giver had the good sense to have all the vital information
engraved on the bottom of BOTH salts: L.H.A. FROM W.B.S.
MAR 1 1881. How wonderful to have the full date of the gift for us to
enjoy now!! <P> CONDITION: It is possible that the tops were
gilded originally, although none of that remains. The perforated
caps fit smoothly and tightly onto the body of the salts. There
are no dents or damage of any kind which can be seen.<P>
Evidently, silver was much prized and expensive in the 19th
century, and because of that, was a very special present to the
lucky recipient...perhaps a wedding gift or a special birthday.
<P>We owe W.B.S. our thanks for putting such a complete date
on this wonderful gift!!
