$17.49

For sale is a smaller metal mesh soap saver shaker made by the Wasburn company - the wire goods co. div. from Worcester , Massachusetts in the good old USA :) You know back in the days when they made stuff like this here :) I guess its meant for soap left overs but not sure. I figured you could use it for potpourri or such with a pretty band going up the handle maybe. It is made of metal probably steel and it actually still is quite silver in appearance with just some very minor oxidation to the metal. It opens with a hinge at the bottom and a simple metal loop at the top. The handle is twisted at the bottom and forms an oval loop at the top. Sadly my parents in law passed away a little while ago and we inherited so many things so this is part of this. Didn't want to throw them out and we donated tons of stuff already. The piece is not marked but came with part of an old cardboard box with the info on it as shown in the pictures. This piece does not come with the metal shaker! It's just for info. The box part of this shaker is about 3 inches wide, 2.5 inches tall and 1.625 inches thick. The handle sticks up about 7 inches. Looks nice and looks to be in good condition apart from the oxidation to the metal from age. Some large holes in the corners but the other pieces have them as well so that seems to be normal. I am no expert at all in this sort of thing so ask questions. I do offer a proper return policy if I buggered this up royally but it I try to be super honest as you can see with my response! I have a flat rate shipping cost to make it easier but will certainly refund if the actual cost is lower! I'll combine shipping wherever possible.If you like my goodies have a look at my other sales for a lot more top maker pieces. Returns accepted if item is not as described.
