A classic pair of Gorham sterling silver salt and pepper shakers in traditional baluster form. Each shaker features an elegant pedestal base with decorative embossed floral and scroll border band encircling the lower body. Pierced tops with removable finials for easy filling.These shakers are NOT WEIGHTED, meaning they are solid sterling silver throughout without weighted bases. This makes them more valuable than weighted examples, containing significantly more silver content and heavier in hand.Maker: Gorham Manufacturing CompanyMaterial: Sterling silver (.925) - solid, not weightedPattern Number: 978Marks: Clearly marked on base "GORHAM STERLING 978"

Good vintage condition with normal age-appropriate wear. The silver displays tarnish and patina consistent with age. Light surface scratching and minor wear marks from handling and polishing. One shaker has a small shallow dent on the surface. Both shakers retain original pierced tops and finials intact. No splits or significant damage. Would benefit from silver polishing to restore luster.
