This is a beautiful antique Sand Shaker from the late 1800s. Its base is made of glass & its top is metal with an ornamental floral wreath & 9 holes. It was made to contain fine sand that would be shaken on top of a page to blot out the excess ink from the writing. A lovely addition to your antique glass or shaker collection. Please note: the top of this shaker is stuck & can not be opened (we didn’t want to force it in case the glass breaks). There is a rusty pin inside the shaker that we haven’t been able to take out. This piece measures 1-3/4 x 1-3/4 at its glass base, 1-5/8 tall & 1-1/4 in diameter at the top of the metal cap. Antique Sand Shaker, Glass 1800S Office, Floral Officeware, Collectible, Officeware
