Re: silver? bird salt shaker

I finally figured it out: Corbell & Company was established in London, England, in 1946. In 1951 Arthur Corbell moved to the United States and established Corbell & Company in Los Angeles. During the following years, the company expanded its activity throughout the United States, exhibiting its wide variety of merchandise in showrooms in Atlanta, Dallas, New York, Chicago and San Francisco, which were in addition to the headquarters in Los Angeles. Howard White purchased the company from Arthur Corbell in the fall of 2001 after moving to Los Angeles from England where he had been in the antique and reproduction hollowware business for over twenty-five years.
Now I'm trying to figure out it's age.

Re: silver? bird salt shaker

There is no age marking. But I do know they are 20th century because the company moved from London to Los Angeles in 1956
