1800s ornate figural aesthetic silverplate shaker frame

Hello ..................... i got this sweet old victorian era silverplated frame in a box lot at last saturdays estate auction .......

the frame is some kind of serving piece that might have held salt and pepper shakers , or some other condiment set , like mustard or horseradish

there was a single shaker in the box that fits ( not shown ) , but i will send it along too

the frame measures 5 1/2 inches to the top of the handle ...... 3 3/4 inches across the 2 condiment bases .....

note the tiny little feet .... they are birds .... maybe swans ..... a lot of detail on this one

special if you should happen to have a pair of special things to set on this frame ...... but it is just what it is ..... marked on the bottom as quadruple plate silver and the logo of 2 crossed hammers can be seen , but no name ..... also the number 1659 ... prolly identifies the factory inventory

i have no idea what the little wire rack was for ..... it would seem to hold something , but i do not know what it would have been

there is no reserve on my rare little caster frame .......

thank you for taking the time to search out this listing ........ my family appreciates how hard it is becoming to find anything on this site that is not new & fresh off the boat from china ....

.

ALSO PLEASE NOTE ..... should something be damaged in shipping or if there is a flaw in anything we have sold to you , PLEASE email us and tell us about it ..... we stand behind everything that we sell , and offer a complete refund on all items.

EVERYTHING BELOW here is cut & pasted .....

nancy has taken a picture of the most interesting parts on each item ..... any photograph shown will also get larger and show more detail if you click on it and make it ( BIGGER ).

SHIPPING ........................ Instructions and MAILING STUFF

.

PLEASE NOTE ..... ...... THERE ARE SOMETIMES PROBLEMS WITH THE EBAY SHIPPING CALCULATOR ..... ( and it never wants to work for overseas customers ) ...... AFTER THE AUCTION IS OVER ...... should the calculator not work ....... PLEASE WAIT ..... as JON SENDS AN INVOICE TO YOU anyway ........thanks

.

PAYMENT according to a new policy mandated by ebay ........ we are forced now to accept no form of payment but PAYPAL , ...... Please mail me if you have any questions about this policy ,...... we are sorry , but it is out of our control.

.

.

AGAIN , PLEASE ALLOW JON TO E-MAIL YOU AFTER THE AUCTION

sorry , but we are no longer allowed to post our e-mail address here ....... If you already have our address , feel free to e-mail us with any and all questions ...................or use the ebay mail system ....... .. If you do not have our private e-mail , we are sorry not to be able to list it here for you ........

remember , you are always welcome to come to our shop ......... (fairmount antique mall ) , downtown fairmount Indiana ...... " next to the corn " , here in hoosier farm country " ;@)

............anyway , come and visit ..... and personally inspect any item that we offer to sell here on ebay ...... and and a PILE of thousands of our mostly ebay .... UNLISTED .... store items.

we are open from 10 to 6 ( local time ) ..... 7 days ...... we are always glad to hold things here for you, till you can drive by and pick the items up in person , ....... they can decorate the store , safe and sound till you can come for them ...... some things available here are just not to be trusted being shipped ...... just too large ...... or too heavy ........

as far as shipping goes , that is just what we will charge you to ship the item ..... no hidden extras , no packing or materials fee ......... usually the post office and sometimes ups ........since we send our things world-wide , it simply depends on where you live ...... items going overseas naturally cost more to ship than those that stay in the states ..... a toy or a tool .... something for the bathroom , or a children's book , whatever ..... we are always willing to send it slower and save you money ...... always glad to combine purchases as well ......

as we have always said , should you not be happy with any of our auctions , and for any reason , you may return the item for a refund.

we will also longer charge for insurance ...... but all items will still be insured by us , as we will pay for it on our end ....... have no fear ..... and again , all packing materials , wrapping tissue , paper , bubble wrap and boxes are free ....... we re-cycle almost everything anyway and my brother Jon gets about 98% or 99% of his packages delivered to the customer in perfect condition ......... " having said that , UPS once broke our cast iron kitchen skillet " ....... so you never know ..... heh heh

thank you again for taking the time to visit this listing .... best wishes and good luck in all of your searches ..... I hope you liked our english or american silver-plated stuff ...... perhaps as an interesting gift for a friends birthday ..... or next Christmas ....... halloween perhaps ........ ( well never to soon to shop for SOME holiday ) .....

............ and FINALLY ..... i have more antique ..... rare ..... unusual & sometimes just weird things in my ebay store ........lol

....... thanks again ....... tony , jon , mom, & nancy.

PS ....10 years ago ....... ebay used to be more fun ...... sigh
