A very rare example of a novelty silver pepper pot in the form of a child’s pull along toy. A very charming piece of collectors silver and fully functional.

Height 5.2 cms. Length 4.2 cms. Chester 1900. Maker Saunders & Shepherd.

This lovely little silver miniature is in very good condition with no damage or restoration. Stanped with good clear English silver hallmarks to both the base and head. 1 of the pepper holes is badly stamped (see photo).
