Boston & Sandwich Amber Christmas Barrel Salt Shaker 1880's ~ No Agitator

Here is an amber, mold-blown, barrel-shaped Christmas salt shaker made by Boston & Sandwich in the 1880s. It does not have an internal stirrer (the stirrer piece is missing).  On the cover is Dana K Alden Boston Pat December 25, 1877 and despite its age there is very little corrosion.  The lid closes with noise (friction) you must use oil to eliminate that noise.  I took a photo of the worst side.  There is a raised star at the bottom.  It has normal surface wear.
