Condition
Overall very good original condition. The silvered surface of this shaker is in very good condition with some gentle tarnish easily removed with polishing. The silvering throughout is intact and with very minute rubbing and a few small and minor surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handing. The wooden insulating element to the interior of the handle with nice figuring and richer hue than seen in the catalogue illustration. The interior with some minor surface residue. A strong example of this modernist shaker.
