History
My Uncle Dean brought these shakers back form Japan to give to his mother (my grandmother). He was stationed while in the Navy during the occupation immediately after World War II. She was the original owner born in 1898 and never used them. They were kept in a curio cabinet until 1994 when they were then given to me. I've kept them in a box and only recently opened it. They're looking for a new home.
