Rare complete set of authentic vintage Shaker hand-crafted dry measures that sit inside each other, or "nest" for easy storage. Each is stenciled on the front with with the logo for the Shaker Society, Sabbathday Lake, Maine, and are very old - probably mid-19th century. Nonetheless, they are in wonderful condition for their age - and the patina is extraordinary.
