    6 PC ANTIQUE CRANBERRY CRUET SET IN THUMBPRINT DESIGN ENGRAVED "1883 CHRISTMAS".
    The set consist:
    Five (5) Cranberry color thumbprint glass (or crystal?) bottles set in a 5 bottle metal compartment holder.
    The holder measures 16" tall and 7" wide.  The center (where the bottles are inset) turns easily so you can rotate the bottles to get to the one you want.  I am unsure of the metal it is made of.  A magnet does not stick to the surface.
    The five bottles are comprised of:
    Two bottles with crystal stoppers measure approx. 8 1/2" tall.
    The two bottles with the screw tops measure approx. 7 3/4" tall.  Both screw tops work fine. (a magnet does not stick to these tops)
    The smallest bottle with the hinged lid measures approx. 6" tall.  (a magnet does not stick to the top)
    The stand is engraved "1883 Christmas".   The marking on the bottom says:  "Pairpoint Mfg. Co. Quadruple Plate 1024".
    The set appears to be in very good condition with no noticeable chips or cracks in the bottles or stoppers.  There are scratches on the holder which signifies it was used and enjoyed in it's day.  Aside from needing a good polish/cleaning, it looks wonderful for it's age!
    This set is quite heavy and will be shipped with care.
