This is the time of the year to get out your cute little salt and pepper shakers for picnics or just to show them off in your summer kitchen.
These novelty shakers were manufactured from the mid-1920s, prior to World War II. Most were imported from Japan and Germany. Collectors can find shakers in a particular material, such as plastic, glass or ceramic, from makers such as Shafford Japan or Occupied Japan. They come in a variety of designs, including animals, animated characters, souvenirs, TV crossovers, and vegetables.
