Vintage Mid-Century Nelson Cornelius Hourglass Bauhaus Salt & Pepper Shakers Set

Very similar to the set Wilhelm Wagenfeld designed, these hourglass salt and pepper shakers feature a silver tone lid with two prongs that secure the lid to the glass body. There are rubber or plastic tips on the side of the prongs to avoid scratching the glass. One prong is marked with the patent number 2937793, which is attributed to Nelson F. Cornelius on May 24. 1960. It may have been a revised version of the Wagenfeld Max & Moritz set from 1953. 2.5" H x 2" W x 2" L Overall in good condition. Set shows wear that is consistent with age and use. One of the rubber ends has a small chip.
