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 mini bottle salt shakers
to promote the brand. First they introduced a long neck, then in 1936
they introduced the "stubby" (above right). A barrel was also produced
(far right) that is often sold in pairs as salt & peppers, but these too
were only salts - as the hole pattern is always the same.
Then
in 1937 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.
Alpha-numeric references for the Coors Ceramic salt shakers are from Robert Kay's "Miniature Beer Bottles & Go-Withs" - and so is the grading standard.
