I love these little shakers. I would like to know the maker and date of manufacture. Any guesses on a date? 1960's or could it be earlier?
The pattern on the lids might help identify them.
Thanks for looking.
They have the same tops as a pair I just bought. But the glass pattern is different.
The only info I came up with mine wrong. Yours looks like a hobnail pattern.
Hazel Atlas Cube pattern seems to be a popular ID. Hazel Atlas seems likely the Cube pattern not so much.
They certainly are pretty! :)
Hi fortapache, are yours a similar shape or size? I suppose the lids can so easily be switched that it could just as easily hinder as help in identification. Yeah, these are definitely hobnail.
nutsaboutas6, I'll look into Fenton as well as Hazel Atlas. Yeah, I hope to hear from TallCakes haha.
katherinescollections, yesss
Fenton hobnail shakers are generally more perfectly cylindrical and have no starburst on the bottom. Mine look kind of fat.
Fenton seems to be losing out - jrnre is right - no starburst. Fancy shapes though.
I think we have a real mystery here. I can't find these or anything similar online, but from what I gather, hobnail was introduced in the 40's so it likely isn't older than that.
Btw the fenton hobnails are nice though. Now I'm going to know those when I see them :)
Mine are similar size and shape. But the pattern is different.
I'd like to see yours fortapache :)
