    These shakers were just a "tiny bit" tarnished and one of the tops had a dent in it. Fixed the dent and got rid of about 98% of the tarnish.

    "The early history of Empire Crafts is not real clear as its origins are not well documented. But this we do know, in the 1920’s and early 1930’s, the Stuart companies purchased silver flatware from a nearby silver company to offer as premiums to their sales representatives and employees. The success and popularity of this program led to the creation of two Stuart silverware companies. What would later be known as Empire Crafts Corporation and Home Decorators, Inc. were founded by Lyman Stuart to sell both sterling and plated flatware. Home Decorators, Inc., with the help of famed designer Russell Wright, sold Prestige Plate silver plated flatware, State House Sterling flatware, and Arcadian China. Empire Crafts sold Nobility Plate silver plated flatware, Royal Crest Sterling flatware, Nobility & Princess China, and silver plated hollowware (tea sets, trays, sugar and creamers). Both of these direct-sales companies created at-home club plans to generate interest and boost sales. The Silver Counselor and the Nobility Club grew rapidly with sales of thousands of sets of flatware and china across mid-century America."
