Silver 1 1/2 ounce container - Hotel Sherman by International Silver Co.

[ace1968]

After 10 wheat pennies I finally found this. I was going to put it on "what is it" since I don't know the age so any info is appriciated.

I thought it was the right thing to do.

maybe a measuring cup for measuring 1 1/2 fluid ounces?

Well my wife took it away from me to put toothpicks in... so now it's a toothpick holder. She said I can keep the wheat pennies, she's good to me.

Maybe an ole shot class aka silver cup? Still nice find please give details how deep etc... Did it hit like a 5 lb bass

Probably an individual cream container for coffee/tea service, or maybe for table setting. That would be my guess. The shape sort of suggests the shape of old milk/cream bottles. Does the top side of the lip have a slight recess like could have had a flat paper/cardboard lid fit down into it? A neat find whatever it's original purpose. HH
