<p>Well my friend , you may have hit the jackpot on this one and will have to get it checked out. Your shaker was modeled after the Boston lighthouse, <br />first built in 1716, rebuilt in 1783, and heightened in 1859. International Silver Company chose it as their symbol, and were offering shakers in this model by 1927. The larger model ( 21 inches in height) no. 352, had three rows of windows and originally retailed for $150. The last one we have listed in this size sold by Sotheby&#39;s for $17,925 in 2002. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Lovejoy </p>

<p>No, I&#39;m afraid not. I&#39;d just visit Sothebys.com and click on their services link. That should put you through to one of their specialists.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Lovejoy </p>
