Description: I recently bought a neighbor's collection of 1940s and 1950s salt and pepper shakers. This one is a Dutch boy and girl dressed in traditional blue and blue outfits riding on Dutch shoes. They "kiss" when placed facing each other. They are marked on the bottoms with numbers. I suspect that they Japanese, possibly Lefton (based on the format of the numbers). The plastic stoppers are in place. These little figural china salt and pepper sets were popular when I was a child in the 1950s. They were sold in dime stores for $0.15 to $0.25 where I lived in the Texas Panhandle. The quality varied, but most were hand painted in a few seconds per figure, and almost all were from Japan. I remember my grandmother displaying a few of these sets in her kitchen window and others in her china cabinet along with hankies and other gifts her grandchildren gave her. I'm listing more pieces of this collection today as well. #21746 CONDITION: This set is in good used condition. The painting is well done, but there is some edge wear from use. SIZE: These shakers are about 2 5/8" tall, about 1 1/4" deep (across shoe), and about 2" wide (front to back of shoe). WHY BUY FROM WANDERING CREEK?
