Antique handmade sheet iron tin sugar or spice shaker with it's original old japanned finish and retaining original old surface. Maine , 1860's, probably earlier. Guaranteed old and original; this is not a fake or reproduction. Actual weight 1/2 lbs. 4" tall by 2 1/2" bottom diameter. Sheet iron tin that has been cut, bent, soldered and japanned to form a sugar or spice shaker retaining it's original old, worn, oxidized, darkened and dry surface, as found. All Maine kitchens had and used these. All. Pies received a shake on the crust. Pudding received a shake and into the oven. In an active baking kitchen t were numerous shakers around. This kitchen tool is how the sugar got on the cookies and how the cinnamon got on the pumpkin pies. Kept only slightly full (never completely full) to allow both reduced weight and easy application, each held it's own topping for decades of actual use. Very good as found condition. The japanned surface on the outside of the shaker has considerable appropriate use wear from actual Maine farm kitchen use. Otherwise the shaker is in perfect condition. The lid can be easily removed and the inside is particularly VERY CLEAN so one may actually use this shaker without reservation . Right out of the farm house kitchen, it has appropriate surface oxidation, wear and very minor soiling for it's age and from it's old farm residence. Please see photographs. As found last month in the kitchen of a coastal fishing farm near Friendship, Maine . Seeking things fresh found in attics? Please see our other listings from this estate. This was in the kitchen. We have done nothing to it at all; it is just as we found it. It looks like good one to us! We offer this VERY CLEAN old tin shaker for $4.99 NR.
