Vintage Stanley Ball Point Salt & Pepper Shakers with Original Box
Description
Step back into the 1950s with this incredibly unique set of Vintage Stanley Ball Point Salt & Pepper Shakers. Manufactured by Stanley Home Products (Stanhome), these revolutionary shakers feature an iconic mid-century bullet or rocket-shaped silhouette made from clear and cream-colored plastic.
Unlike traditional open-hole shakers, these utilize a clever mechanical ball-point valve system on the tips. When inverted and pressed gently against your food or hand, the ball bearing recedes to dispense your seasoning without letting moisture sneak inside. Complete with their rare, original "Quality Plus" striped cardboard box, this set is a must-have for collectors of vintage kitchen kitsch, advertising memorabilia, or retro plastics.
Features
- Innovative Ball-Point Action: Uses unique rolling ball tips designed to prevent clumping and moisture build-up.
- Complete Collector's Set: Includes both matching rocket-shaped shakers alongside their rare original cardboard retail box.
- Iconic Mid-Century Kitsch: Cream and clear plastic composition beautifully showcases 1950s industrial novelty design.
- Stanley Home Products History: Authentic "Stanhome" direct-sales party era memorabilia.
