Lillian, when I was a kid I'd take a salt shaker up in the apple tree and eat green (not ripe) apples sprinkled liberally with salt. My Mom used to do it too!

All wood. That's it, unless I find more hidden away somewhere.

Awesome Shakers Everyone! Thank you for sharing with us, they are such fun!

Lillian - your Dog shakers are called "Bonzo" from a very popular cartoon of the 1920's. Few remember him, or the "craze" that there was for this cute character. Here's some interesting info on him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonzo_the_dog

Think "Felix the Cat" or "Mighty Mouse" or "Tom and Jerry" for our generation. For our young people, think "Teenage mutant Ninja Turtles" LOL

Also - Your "milk" ( actually called platonite, I think) glass windmill shakers are part of a depression glass set - including all sorts of shapes. These were made by Hazel Atlas, and at one time HA was the largest glass maker in the USA! Here's is some info on this and other awesome patterns by HA: http://www.collectorsweekly.com/glassware/hazel-atlas

Also: I wondered if any of you have any of the rare and collectible "Rosemeade" shakers? I once found a pair of adorable Siamese Cats, that were so unusual I would not sell them, until I was sure about who made them. I'm glad I found out! Here's more on Rosemeade - A hidden Gem that you can sometimes find for very little$ :)

This is a short article on the really cute and rare Rosemeade "Skunks" - so cute and unusual! http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/33460-my-favorite-rosemeade...

Here is a page of "highest" selling and also some of the most rare shakers by Rosemeade. As Shaker collectors, you should be aware of these - not to mention that they are Awesome! :)

Lillian, the little ducks are so cute.  Oh, I have those penguins too.

Here is a few more of mine.These sodas are plastic.And these one are made by Pyrex a long time ago.  I just got them in the mail today.  My grandmother had a small collection of salt & peppers.  She had a set just like these in her collection.  I've always admired them.  And now every time I look at these I have those memories of my Grandmother.
