Listed here is what appears
to be
a
very unique
item.
It is a dispenser of some sort
– cream or syrup maybe.
To
a
friend of mine,
i
t is
reminiscent of
maple
sap evaporators
that
she
saw
when
she
was
a
ki
d
(1950s –
1960s)
in upstate New York,
so it may well
be a maple syrup dispenser.
The only identification on the item is a very worn laurel wreath around 5-point star with an “s” barely observable in it.
The words “quadruple silver” appear as well.
It is assumed to be quadruple silver plate.
Indications are that this item
may date back to 1900 or so – though
I
can find no direct evidence of that.
This would be a nice décor item for any sugar shack office.
