I was gifted with this salt & pepper shaker by an applianceville person years ago. I kept these on top of my 1955 Westinghouse washer for display. I carefully moved these and dusted these all this time. TODAY I was washing and one of them fell off the 1949 Bendix WCG Gyramatic. When I looked at the pieces I discover to my shock and dismay that it was made by the Five & Dime company in 1987!! Yes 1987 Take a look at the photographic evidence! Jet |

Dissapointing isn't it, like so much of the schlock on ebay. |

My guess would be it came in white and turquoise as well. There are recipe indexes inside of it and a note to the owner inside starts off "Dear Mrs. Homemaker:". |

Is this cool or what? It's in pretty much perfect conditon. It just has a teeny bit of missing paint on the "W". Otherwise, cherry. |

Jon, I've seen those "non-genuine" Westy shakers before too, now you'll have to get real ones! The good thing is they came in lots of models and colors, even the stacked pair - just watch ebay, soon you'll have them all. The Westy range recipie boxes came in several colors, pink, yellow, white and probably turquoise - but I've not seen that one yet. I have the pink and yellow, and several w/d sets as well - I hate dusting them! Vers, that Whirlpool sign is sweet! I'm always on the lookout for lighted signs but they usually cost a fortune - congrats on the great find! |

Versatronic, I know that sign. I tried to buy it at a local auction house. I left an absentee of $50, it went for $55! I saw it at the Depot the next week. From talking to the auctioneer (whom I know real well), I don't think it came out of a local store. no big deal. I do like that sign, though, and it's in really nice condition. Enjoy!

I have contacted "Pepper Anderson" about doing a full scale investigation of this egregious fraud. It may take her some time as she is still undercover as "Flexy Dupree" in a Santa Monica Blvd. soft-porn go-go poll dancer dive. How dare anybody gift you fakes!!!! |
