30. KISSIN' COUSINS: Salt & Pepper Shaker

Now, isn't this pair cute? Figural hard plastic salt and pepper shakers, meant to be paired for life! They're lucky not to have been separated after all these 40 plus years. (They should be middle-aged by now, but they have been doomed to remained young forever--in a squirrel pose!.) . Cheap, mass-produced Made in Japan plastic ware like this were staples in the kitchen. After use at the dining table, they would have been placed back on the kitchen shelf as a cutesy decor. A flea market find--with a twin-win price tag of--50 cents!
