This is a Rare Open Salt made in Baltimore, Md. by Samuel Kirk. Kirk is one of America's Best Silversmiths. From 1861 to 1868 Samuel Kirk's sons worked at the firm and the name was S. KIRK & SONS. That allows this great open salt to be dated in the 1860's. It has a gold washed bowl. We are including a gold washed salt spoon with this Baltimore Salt. The design is a pumpkin and squash garden scene. The 11OZ mark indicated the old silver standard of 11 oz out of 12 troy ozs pure silver. The diameter is 2 1/2". Markings-S KIRK & SONS 11 OZ. Condition: Excellent, No Damage. A Excellent form. Recently a vast collection of salts came available and being from Baltimore, we became interested in purchasing some of these wonderful salts to add to our inventory of silver, paintings, and chinese export porcelain. Included in the salts is a stieff, schofield, webster, pairpoint, lunt,H.M.Brown. Also in this lot and soon to be added to our web site is a Russian Salt with Spoon
