Old Farmer & Wife Salt and Pepper Shakers

Collectibles : Salt, Pepper Shakers

 

O.K., I can’t really say this pair of salt and pepper shakers are pretty (even cute would be tough to justify), but they are definitely eye catching! I found them listed as “Farmer and Farmer’s Wife” in a salt and pepper price guide, but how many farmer’s wives went around smoking a pipe? I am not sure if “hillbillies” is politically correct any more, but I think they would fit more in that category. Made in Japan, “Pappy” stands about 3 ½” tall while “Mammy” stands around 3” in height. They both have corks, but “Mammy’s” is inside the shaker.
