This set is from the 1890-1910 period.  The set includes 5 large canisters , Sugar, Flour, Tea, Coffee and Oatmeal that measure 8.5 inches tall X 4.5 inches X 4 inches.  The Flour, Sugar and Oatmeal all have a chip on the inside lip that cannot be seen when the lid is on.  The Oatmeal lid is the only piece missing from this set.  There is a pair of Oil and Vinegar cruets with their lids that measure 9 inches tall X 2.75 inches X 2 inches.  There is a set of six spice jars with their lids- Pepper, Cloves, Ginger, Mustard, Allspice and Nutmeg that measure 4.75 inches tall X 2.5 inches X 2.25 inches. The last and rarest of all pieces in this set is the salt canister ( possibly because of its wooden hinged lid) that measures 6 inches tall X 5.5 inches wide x 4 inches.  The total pieces including lids in this set is an impressive 26.  I recently purchased a home from an elderly couple in their upper 80's and this set was one of the attic finds.  I can say that this set is in excellent condition for a beautiful collection that is over a century old.  The last set I saw sold was back in April that included 5 canisters ( 2 lip chips), 2 cruets, and 5 spice jars all with lids that went for $365.00.  Remember this set has an additional spice jar &  lid, and the extremely rare Salt canister with wooded lid. If pickup in the central Jersey area is preffered over shipping this is ok with me.           Place a Bid!
