<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 1578974, member: 6444"]Silverplate from Sheffield, but I can't imagine what this would have been used for? It is quite large, almost 12 in high, but a mostly hollow interior base and a screw on top to hold a small amount of something. No holes in the top; it must be unscrewed to get at the contents (which had a disintegrated rubber gasket to seal it). Would this have been the largest possible container to hold a small amount of salt, that needed to be unscrewed to get at it? I don't understand??</p><p>[ATTACH=full]231096[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]231097[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]231098[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]231099[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]231100[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
