Is it a genuine vintage McKee? Or is it a worthless modern day reproduction?
McKee produced many range shaker sets in a variety of styles for several kitchen range manufacturers from the 1920's onward into the early 50's. You could buy a new kitchen range from Hot Point or Tappan as well as other manufacturers and included with your new appliance, often with their own "cubby hole" for handy storage would be a "Range Set" (thus the name) of shakers. Each quite useful when cooking at the range. Generally these sets have far outlived the original range.
The McKee "Roman Arch" style range sets have been quite popular, being highly sought after by collectors. These were produced in sets of four, consisting of a Salt, Pepper, Sugar, and Flour shakers. Originally the Roman Arch style came in two colors, white, and a yellowish off white called "Custard."
