nun salt and pepper shakers metal

[feistyram]

Does anyone know anything about salt and pepper shakers?  I just purchased a pair of metal painted nun shakers.  They stand about 2.25" tall.

And if this is your first pair - - - - - - a very popular field of collecting - there are thousands - - maybe many thousands of salt & pappers - values are pretty reasonable for a collection, from $1 a pair at a yard sale to average $15 - $40 and up and up - and it starts with just one pair.

So whatever you paid - it's probably just right.  

Then some people start fine tuning - only advertising sets, or only cats, or only 1950's - and there's dozens of books on the subject.

No, I don't collect salt & peppers - I collect STUFF.  - Best of wishes on your collection - KB

These unique shakers add a touch of whimsy and character to any table setting. The craftsmanship is impressive, with intricate details that make them stand out. They’re not just functional but also serve as charming conversation pieces.
