I'm not even sure if this is American. I didn't see any makers mark that looked like this ( I saw a mark H&H). Does anyone know anything about this maker or approximate age of this piece?

I guess that this salt shaker is from The Netherlands and the maker H. Hooijkaas - Schoonhoven (Schoonhovensche Zilverfabriek H. Hooijkaas b.v. established 1874).

Hi,
HH could be Hooijkaas, but there really should be some other marks on it. Maybe if you open the shaker .. on the rim.

I am not sure about my first suggestion. There is also H. Hartman (1889-1910) in Schoonhoven as a possibility. Let us see if there are some other marks.

Here is the other mark I found on the salt shaker. It is a sword that looks to be the mark used between 1906-1953. It's a little hard to see but it is right under her neck....

Hi,
The marks for Hooijkaas and Hartman are almost identical for some odd reason. Maybe if you send the image to Hooijkaas, they might have something in their records.
The 19th century sword is almost identical to the later one, hard to see in the image. Which could still include both of these makers.
There is also a HH for Hinne in Delft, but that mark had to be reconstructed after the bombing of Rotterdam in WWII.
