Beautiful Pair of Vintage 1946 Elkington & Co. Silver-Plated Salt & Pepper Shakers Up for auction/sale is a wonderful, authentic pair of vintage silver-plated lighthouse-form salt and pepper shakers produced by the legendary English silversmiths Elkington & Co. This matching set features Elkington’s classic commercial-weight design with secure, mid-body screw-off tops and elegant flared pedestal bases. Key Details & Hallmarks: • Model / Pattern Number: Both pieces are cleanly stamped with pattern number 25662. • Maker Marks: The bases feature clear Elkington & Co. stamps (E & Co) alongside the official "Silver Plated" and "Monarchy Plate" designations, signifying heavy-gauge electroplating built to last. • Dating Code: Stamped with the letter "K" in a shield, dating this specific set precisely to the year 1946. • Origin: Clearly stamped "England". Condition: The set is in great vintage structural shape. Crucially, the mid-body screw threads are completely intact, turning smoothly and locking tightly. The interior surfaces show typical minor aging and authentic oxidation consistent with mid-century use. The exterior silver plating has a fantastic natural patina that can easily be polished to a mirror shine if desired, or left as-is for historic character. No major dents or deep scratches.
