Wallace & Sons #710 Beaded Can Caster

[Traintime]

Three part assembly..can, lid, cover (monogrammed). Resembles a shotgun shell shape. All parts carry mark “11”, like inverted “TT”. Definitely in rough shape, but a survivor. Holes are small like salt or pepper rather than sugar. But can could hold a large amount. Inner areas all have a golden tone. Everything is press fit with no threading, and this is marked Patent applied for. Might it be for another spice? Anyone seen this form from R.W. & S. or other makers? Wild guesses on era it was in use? TIA

Wallace’s primary beaded pattern was Atatlanta from 1895. In 1899, #710 was assigned to the toiletries line for a hairbrush (in Trev’s postings).

Talcum powder shaker/dispenser fits here. What the patent was filed for is unclear but perhaps the pattern itself as the design of the parts does not seem special..and we don’t know yet if the patent was granted beyond the filing. Circa 1900-10 seems probable given the prior use of the catalog number in toiletries.
