Heisey Salts in Question
This salt is a perfect match for a Higbee Salt, but has a
A diamond-H in the bottom made with an acid stamp.
Some say genuine Heisey, but many doubt that it is.
Dish called a “Blown Salt or Ash” in a salesman’s flyer
Issued during World War II. Dubbed the “Berg Salt” in
the “Heisey News” Actual dish has never been found
to our knowledge.
