The original piece from which this copy was reproduced came from Massachusetts. The back design is a modified "lollipop" configuration common in many early pieces. There were no salt shakers and cooking salt was available only in large clumps. Most salt boxes were hung by the wood cook stove. The dimensions are 14"h x 10-3/4"w x 5-3/4"d. Price: $67.95 Note: Tell us when you order if you intend this as a "display" piece only, or if you plan to store salt in it. We'll be sure to finish the interior of the box appropriately for salt storage. To see additional salt box colors, click here. |

Salt boxes were usually hung by the stove and in the food preparation areas. Most had lids to protect this valuable chemical from grease and soot.
