Emery, Bird and Thayer wooden salt box with liner
This salt box would look great either on a countertop, table, or mounted on a wall. It measures 10.5” high, 6” wide and just about 4.25” deep. You could use it as is, or tuck in a doily, faux flowers or greenery. The metal liner has some signs of patina but is not rusty. It’s in wonderful condition and even has the original price tag of $4.50 on the back, from the 1960’s or possibly earlier.
It was from Emery Bird and Thayer company, a prominent KC department store with roots from the 1860s. The company evolved from a supplier for travelers on the Oregon and Santa Fe Trails to a retail landmark that finally closed in 1968.
