Description

These nostalgic salt and pepper shakers remind us of a time when gas cost 25 cents a gallon and times seemed simpler. They have never been used. You do see a bit of crackling on the signs and the C from Conoco on the salt shaker gas pump sign. The bottoms pop off to add the salt or pepper and the spices pour through the top openings of the S and the P.

History My grandmother was the original owner (born in 1898) who never used them. She kept them in a curio cabinet in a pet-free/smoke-free home. They were given to me in 1994 and remained in a box. Recently, I removed them and they're now looking for a new home.
