If that platter is sterling its worth a lot. need a closer shot, does it look like a lion.
the enormous platter underneath the salt cellars has a lion on the bottom of it. it's dated 1917 and monogrammed w/ DWE.
Whiting Manufacturing Co.
New York, New York ~ 1866 - 1926
Major manufacturer, full line of fine quality flatware and holloware.
Absorbed into Gorham in 1926.

wow! thank you vetraio50!
i think that these are nut dishes, not salceros. what do you think?
I would imagine if these were salts they would need a glass liner otherwise the salt would destroy the silver.
thank you Gracay2004. i wonder though, because i have a bunch of silver shakers and they don't have liners. ??
Do you keep salt in the shakers? Salt pitting and green corrosion marks will appear quite quickly on Silver or silver plating. Ammonia will clean the green residue but won't obviously repair any damage.
Thank you Gracay2004. i don't use them for anything, really. too much work to keep them polished. they don't have salt in them now and i don't see any pitting or corrosion.
