The listing, Rare, Antique Monkey Salt & Pepper Shakers, Estate Find has ended.
Rare Treat for Listian collectors. I picked this up at an estate sale. The woman was a collector. She said the book value is $24. I have turned the web upside down searching for the set, but I am unable to find a match. I will do my very best to describe the set for you. This is likely going to be a one-time listing. I am not certain I am going to add the set again.
It is a pair of Monkey Salt & Pepper Shakers. I am thinking they are circus monkeys' but not sure. The bigger monkey is balancing a ball on his feet and the little monkey has a small red purse, and what appears to be a red hat.
I believe the set is hand-painted. IT does not appear to be other than hand-painted but I am not sure. Bottom of small monkey has Japan on bottom. The bigger shaker is rough around the bottom. The paint needs some attention. The smaller monkey has a crack at the top of the head area, looks like someone fixed it, but did a poor job. This is a rare set still. So if you are interested, now is the time to take advantage.
The larger monkey is about 4" High and the smaller monkey is about 2" High.
Thanks for looking. Sold as is
