Hi, I have a set of salt & pepper shakers. I have no idea who made them. I've been looking at marks and the closest I can come is Quaker Silver co. The mark on the bottom is Q S CO. It looks double stamped.
Here's a pic, poor. Any help, thanks alot. I've looked on the site here for marks with no luck.

The Quaker Silver Company, Inc., of North Attleboro, Massachusetts, made sterling and silverplated holloware (and trophies, novelties, and pewterware.) They were in business as early as 1926 but bought out by the Gorham Corporation in 1959. [Rainwater, et al. Encyclopedia of American Silver Manufacturers, 5th ed.]
