Production began with the end of prohibition in 1933, and ended with the outbreak of WWII.
The mini-bottles were salt shakers, popular in the 30s & 40s for salting the beer to invigorate the head.
Often these bottles are presented as salt & peppers, but they were not issued in sets.
The mini-mug [far left] was probably a matchstick or toothpick holder.Labels
