Vintage Salt Pepper Shakers
Finding vintage salt and pepper shakers can be a very enjoyable hobby, and they are very easy to find. Yard sales and flea markets start popping up in the spring as folks are doing their spring cleaning and mucking out their basements, storage areas and attics. If you are looking for a specific kind of salt and pepper shaker set, such as sterling silver, or those that are little characters, go online and plug the information into a search engine and see what comes up.
Another option for finding these little cuties is to haunt the local goodwill stores and salvation army stores, or look in the classified section of your newspaper for area events, such as church rummage sales and/or school benefits. In a lot of towns a particular day is designated as a "city wide yard sale" event.
If you are a serious collector you can find vintage items at estate sales and auctions. If you are not a serious collector, but just like the variety, you may find delightful vintage salt shakers without their mate, the pepper shaker, or vice versa. Mix and match them at parties or family dinners. In any event, it is certainly fun to hunt them down, and every serious collector yard-saler loves a good bargain.
