Do you have the original cork?[

Also, I usually swap the salt for the pepper. I never could figure why they made 2 or 3 holes for pepper, it's so much better.

It seems totally weird, but it seems that "which gets more holes in the top, salt or pepper?" causes lots of debates (I spent a bit of time poking around the web).
One group states that since pepper was more expensive than salt, it was given fewer holes in the top, but another stated that the salt should be in the one with fewer holes because it's heavier and flows faster than pepper, so pepper gets more holes to balance!
What people will argue about!

I never got to welcome you, WELCOME.
There are so many reasons to argue over this but everyone but me is WRONG!

[] So,...Where we live,...this is what's refered to as a salt cellar,.....Geographic differences?....ToMAYto,...ToMOTto... same difference?....cool find.

All I know is salt shakers are good to plant carrot seed in your garden.

I've been on this huge salt/pepper shaker kick lately..in fact, i'm sitting here with 5 pair of them on my desk. A occupied japan pair of baby elephants, hand painted, still in their pkg. a set of wilton porcelain partridge, 2 cut glass sets and a Quaker sterling plated set....Lately the local GW and Vinny's has had quite a few sets...and at 50-99 cents per set, cant go wrong...
About your shaker, any markings on the bottom? I find that replacements.com is good for pattern names etc.... and gotheborg is great for researching markings.
