Ornate pair of quadruple silverplate FORBES salt & pepper shakers with beaded trim along the top, rim and base, together with an ornate cascading repousse flower and leaf design.
These antique quadruple silverplate shakers are in very good condition. Both have small areas of silverplate wear or loss due to use and age, but the interiors are exceptionally clean.
The silver plate salt shaker (evidenced by the larger holes in the cap together with the gold gilding), surprisingly has the most amount of silver plate wear noted to the exterior and on the cap top.
The silver plate pepper shaker has the least amount of wear, both to the body of the shaker and to the cap.
Each quadruple silverplate shaker measures 3.25" tall, 1.75" in diameter and together they weigh 5.1 ounces. Each is touchmarked on the base with FORBES SILVER CO., the Forbes logo of an eagle, QUADRUPLE and the pattern number 16.
