MISCELLANEOUS, Objet d'vertu. Lot of two items. A pair of salt or salt and pepper shakers, using marbles in the lid. Silverplated over base metal. These are American, though there is no maker mark on them. Art Nouveau style. The lids have a marble in them. When at rest, the marble drops down sealing the top. When in use, the marble moves forward allowing the condiment to come out. One marble is an Akro Agate Corkscrew, the other an Akro Agate Slag. The marbles are of approximately the same age as the shakers, but it is not known if they are the original marbles since the marbles are replaceable. Very rare. 3-1/2" tall.
