Salt/Pepper shaker mark ID

Post by HoratioCapistrano »

Hello All,
I have a set of salt and pepper shakers. I found them in my grandmothers basement, they are heavily tarnished but I cleaned one of them up in hopes of getting an ID.
To me the mark looks like the one listed as Jensen/LaPaglia on the Unidentified American Mark page.
But what does this mean? Is the mark really unidentified? I did a search on the forum and found a couple other discussions about this mark but I did not come away with anything conclusive.

Thank you in advance

Thank you for the link.
So it is made by Hamilton in the Jensen style!

It's slightly Jensen-esque but Jensen would put more artistry into the piece and make it more modernist than traditionalist, this is a rather traditional form. ::: I still like it because it has no glass inserts and it looks very solid and heavy. ::::
