Example of "tallboys" and "huggers" from the Novelty Salt and Pepper Shakers Club For some reason I feel better knowing that such a thing as the Novelty Salt and Pepper Shakers Club exists. Although the website doesn't look like it's been redesigned since the mid-90s, it's up to date; there's information about their upcoming convention this July in Knoxville, Tennessee, and you can check out recent photos of shakers in their newsletter.

Unfortunately, she didn't get the name of the manufacturer, otherwise we'd be importing these like crazy. IMG_9376 [Robyn's Flickr photo stream]...
