  what DO you mean? Florida’s right there, where it should be – can’t you see it?

I have been searching everywhere for the state salt and pepper shakers, most wanted: Nebraska. Are these for sale?

  I borrowed the picture from the site listed at the bottom of the post, and don’t have these shakers. They do seem to be quite rare. Sorry!

  Cynthia, I have a lot of the states sap’s. I will look to see if I have the Nebraska one. I can’t promise, I have had these packed away for a year. These also come with “go withs” meaning a small icon sap which represent each state.

    Hi Cynthia, I am looking for Rhode Island shaker for
    my mother in law. She will have every state except this one. If you could look and if you are willing to
    sell it I would be interested. Thanks for looking.

    I will buy all of them from you… I collect many types of antique salt and pepper shakers. Let me know if you would like to sell you entire collection.

  I am curious what a set of these costs…

    I had two sets. Sold one on Ebay. Was not bid on much at first but in the last 8 hours bidding went crazy. Sold the set for $450 and shipping. On that set I only had the states. The set I still have has the match shaker with the state. Ex. Ohio has a tire, Ky. has a horse, NY has the Empire State building……..So this set would go for more.

    Forgor to mention, my full set has the place mat all of the states and their match sit on. It really is a nice set for the collector.

I have about half the states and am not sure which ‘go withs’ go with what state. I need to figure out Maine, N. carolina, Arkansaw, Kansas, Mississippi, Montana, California, New Hampshire, Oregon, Ohio, Nebraska, and Vermont yet. Can anyone help me and is anyone interested in buying these?

I can tell you which items go with which states if theses are Parkcraft sets…some of them can have two different matches depending on the year they were issued. The first set of Parkcrafts were issued in 1957 and the second set was issued in 1968…Do you want to sell them all together or would you sell each set separately?

I’m looking for a few of the states with the matching state products. I’m happy to provide a list of the states I need – I have over 40, so my want list is pretty short. Anyone selling individual sets?

I also have many and am willing to sell. Just provide email and I can send pics.

I can be contacted on facebook also. Can post pics of states that I have.

Anyone still looking for a set? I Have 29 of them.

This is a great way to display these shakers. I agree, Florida got a bit turned around! For people looking to see what the “go with” is for each, we have a pinterest board dedicated to these regional shakers that can help ID which one goes with which: https://www.pinterest.com/saltpeppershake/regional-us-sp-shakers/

Where can I get the salt and pepper map of the states?

  I’m pretty sure they are no longer made, thus get to etsy or ebay!
