19C AMERICAN SILVER PLATE CO PICKLE CASTOR W/ TONGS & CRANBERRY GLASS JAR This listing is for a circa 1890 silver plate and cranberry glass pickle castor by the American Silverplate Company, which is a trade name of Simpson Hall Miller & Company. The silver plate castor measures 11 inches or 28 cm high, and is 5 inches or 12.5 cm at its widest.

The silver plate holder has a stepped base with a low relief floral border. At the top of the holder is an open work handle with scrolling acanthus leaves and flowers.
