Coors Ceramics

Salt Shakers ~
During
Prohibition salt was often added to home-brew to enhance the head.
This practice continued when beer was legalized, and taverns usually placed salt
shakers on the Bar.
In 1933 the Coors Porcelain Co. began producing salt shakers to promote the
brand. They first made a long neck, then
a stubby was introduced in 1936 (above right). A barrel was also produced
(right) that is often sold in pairs as salt & peppers,
but were only salts. Then in '37 the label changed on their beer bottles and
cans, so the salt shakers changed as well (above left).
With the onset of WWII the porcelain factory concentrated on the war effort, and
salt shakers were no longer produced.

Coors Ceramic salt shakers are from Robert Kay's
"Miniature Beer Bottles & Go-Withs"
