Double Salt with Wiener Dog? - 8/11/2008 6:21:45 PM    GuntherHess Posts: 5161 Joined: 12/13/2004 From: Frederick Maryland Status: offline I'm trying to figure out what the emblem on the top of this salt is. It looks like a weasel or a wiener dog. Has a crown at the top. Some type of pseudo royal creast or what???  Comments apprieciated.

The whiskey cask around his neck is a dead give away. The crown is cause, well, he's a Saint. What did I win :P Whatever it is, it's pretty neat, I hope you find the actual history of it. _____________________________ A bottle in front of me is like a frontal lobotomy...

I'm selling off my mother's salt collection since my parents are in poor health and can use the money. Just trying to figure out what some of these salts are so I can make an attempt at listing them properly. Now I know how non-bottle people must feel when they try to sell bottles < Message edited by GuntherHess -- 8/11/2008 9:33:36 PM > _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to kanudigit?)

Was this before shakers became popular or was this a fancier way of putting salt out for a meal? I'm 37 and have never seen anything like it and I thought I was a history buff, pfft! Guess I don't know as much as I thought. Maybe the doggie is gold plated. Sorry to hear that your folks are not feeling well, hope they get better. _____________________________ A bottle in front of me is like a frontal lobotomy... (in reply to GuntherHess) Post #: 6

RE: Double Salt with Wiener Dog? - 8/12/2008 9:01:30 AM    GuntherHess Posts: 5161 Joined: 12/13/2004 From: Frederick Maryland Status: offline Open salts have been used for probably at least 500 years. The salt "shaker" was apparently invented in 1858 by john mason (the jar guy). Early salt shakers had to have a grinder because the salt stuck together.  Salt shakers didnt really get popular till a lot later when salt was treated to keep it from clumping. Open salts were commonly used at least up until the 20s and 30s.  _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to kanudigit?)
