    Not sure what this item was used for. It has a screw off top that has "sprinkler" type holes. Thanks for any help.

      Dimensions?
      Possibly mfg. prior to 1965, as the company moved to Niles, Illinois at that time

      6" high. Handle is about 3.5" long

      Hey inky that's as good a ques as any other at the moment :-)
      How about a one plant watering can???

      On a more serious note, it has the American Flag, with the Eagle clutching arrows on it. Could it be a special commemorative patriotic decorative piece, with no practical application intended?

      Does the top come off?

      It looks a lot like a flour sifter my grandmother used when making biscuits/dough. Used it to sprinkle flour on the dough to keep it from sticking. Hers was very plain by comparison though, no markings at all.
