This is a combination salt and pepper shaker boxed in a cardboard chuckwagon box. I don’t know what snowmobiles and lawn equipment have to do with chuckwagons, but here it is.

    The legend of the “Chuckwagon” combination salt and pepper shaker deepens by the day! (See http://www.alleewillis.com/awmok/kitschenette/2010/07/14/allee-willis%E2%80%99-kitsch-o%E2%80%99-the-day-%E2%80%93-mispackaged-chuckwagon-airstream-combination-salt-pepper-shaker/)

    Unbelievable that there would be two different shakers in that box, neither of which had anything to do with covered wagons, cactus or anything even remotely of the old West. The only remote link between the Leisure Time Sales shaker that you have and the Airstream shaker that I have with a chuckwagon is that they’re all on wheels. I wish the standards were that loose the fields I work in. Oftentimes I find a great title and then start writing something completely unrelated and then have to part with one or the other. Whoever the mystery manufacturer is who refuses to put their name anywhere on their product has no such life-and-death decisions confronting them.

    Speaking of salt and pepper shakers, did you know there is a salt and pepper shaker museum containing the world’s largest collection in Gatlinburg, TN? You can even take an online virtual tour. http://www.thesaltandpeppershakermuseum.com/Default.aspx?tabid=85&language=en-US
