Century Metalcraft Guardian Hostess Salt & Pepper Set

Description

Hi,

This is a cute pair of vintage salt and pepper shakers. They were manufactured by Century Metalcraft, which produced a line of aluminum cookware during WWII.

These shakers are glass and silver plate and have a gold wash. The shakers were produced from 1930 until 1956.

As you can see from the pictures they do show some wear to the silver plate. All I did was wash them and shine up the metal finish with a jewelry cleaning cloth. If you wanted a newer look you could easily use a little gold spray paint on them. I did not do that because a lot of collectors like the original, unaltered condition.

Take a look at the pictures and if you have questions, please e-mail.

Thanks.
