    Hello Board Buddies - I have a small group of metal items I could use some help with. These are the first two of the bunch. They both appear to be large shakers of some kind. The only other similar items I could find were listed as salt and pepper shakers but these just seem too big. The Corbell & Co. shaker is about 7 1/2" tall and the unmarked one is about 8 1/4". Can anyone tell me what these were used for? Many thanks! Don

    I should have guessed that. I'm used to seeing the porcelain examples and haven't seen them in metal before.
