Tuesday Treasures - July 1, 2025

 It was a salt and pepper kind of day recently.  As it was a Monday, my son and I drove around to see if there were any garage sale leftover free piles on the neighborhood curbs.  There were few, but the weekend had been a bit damp so there hadn't been many sales.

One free pile provided these Silbertone post-WWII atomic age rocket/bomb aluminum salt and pepper shaker set made by Elmore of California (Alhambra) in the '50s and '60s.  Those were the years of the atomic design era and Space Age was all the rage!  These were very difficult to photograph as they are so shiny and rounded they reflect entire rooms.

There was also a "stacker" set pile o' pigs from Sri Lanka.  I decided it was too cutesy for me, so I put it in St. Vincent de Paul donation bag. 

Then, just after that we stopped in at a nearby Goodwill.  I found a bag of two vintage shaker sets!  

The chalet and tree fit together, rather like a "hugger" from.

I like how the salt or pepper comes out of the chimney.  I also like that it's drip glaze!
