Literature

John Stuart Gordon, A Modern World:  American Design from the Yale University Art Gallery, 1920-1950, New Haven, 2011, p. 161

Condition

Overall very good original condition. The silver-plated surface with a few very small and minor surface scratches consistent with use. Some minor polish residue to the recessed portions of the design. The threaded top of the shaker presently sits slightly askew. The shaker retains all its original elements, including the bakelite knob, which is presently sitting slightly off center. A nice example of this rare form.
