PARKER Non-Corrosive Salts |
| The C.F. Monroe Company is known to most collectors for
their beautiful line of Wave Crest, Decorated Opalware. They
were also known for the Kelva and Nakara lines as well as cut glassware.
Catalog reprints (1900-01 and 1902-03) have shown that they were
the sole manufacturers of patented salt shakers called
"Parker Non Corrosive Salts".
There were four basic styles shown for these shakers. The following pages show pictures of them. A crystal version of the Parker B salt was just found. Since this completed the identification of the four basic types, it led to a patent search resulting in a somewhat surprising result. Please see the text page for those results. |
