OFFERING a SET OF 4 STERLING SILVER MEXICAN SALT SHAKERS IN THE SHAPE OF LITTLE PUMPKINS
SEE VIEWS ABOVE
EACH IS HIGHLY REPOUSSEED WITH 6 FLOWERS AND LEAVES ALL AROUND
EACH HAS 12 HOLES
THE BOTTOMS SCREW OFF FOR FILLING
THESE WEIGH 15.9 GRAMS EACH, OR 63.6 GRAMS TOTAL FOR THE 4
CLEAN CONDITION WITH NO DINGS OR DENTS
THESE HAVE BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND HAVE NEVER HAD SALT LEFT IN THEM
CLEAN AS A WHISTLE
THEY EACH HAVE A LITTLE "STEM" AT THE TOP
SIZE EACH about 1" HIGH (without the stem) x 1 1/2" HIGH (with the stem) 1 3/4" ACROSS
MARKED ON THE BOTTOM OF EACH IN A CIRCLE "HECHO EN MEXICO D.F."
INSIDE THE CIRCLE IS ".925" (Sterling Silver) AND THE INTERTWINED CONJOINED LETTERS "M A" or "A M" (possibly Manuel Altamirano or Miguel Alonzo or Miguel Arias ???)
I CAN NOT FIND THIS MARK LISTED ANYWHERE
THE "D. F." MEANS "DISTRITO FEDERAL" AND MEANS THAT THESE WERE MADE IN MEXICO CITY
THERE IS ALSO A "SHADOW" MARK ON ALL OF THEM SHOWING THE "D F" MARK TWICE
I BELIEVE THESE ARE PRE 1948 SINCE THERE IS NO EAGLE MARK PRESENT
THE EAGLE MARK WAS USED FROM 1948 UNTIL THE LATE 1970's
IN 1979 THE EAGLE MARKS WERE PUT TO REST AND REPLACED WITH A NEW LETTER & NUMBER SYSTEM, BUT THAT IS ALSO NOT PRESENT ON THESE
SO PRE 1948
IF ANYONE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT THIS MAKER'S MARK I'D LOVE TO HEAR
THESE ARE JUST BEAUTIFUL!
