Vintage Domestic Violence S&P Shakers Really Shake Me Up
a little risque....a little naughty by 1940's standards anyways....they are along the line of "Jiggs and Maggie", if you remember that cartoon strip.(Link added by SPS.)
Risque?!
Let's get real here. The woman brandishes a rolling pin -- from the lump on his head, she's connected at least once already. How does he retaliate? By removing her breast!
Honestly, just where did one display or use such S&P shakers? At the dinner table with the kids? When one entertained business associates? When the in-laws came over? Or maybe they were just used in the basement or rec-room bar, where drunk folks thought such risque things were supposed to be.
We're concerned (yet again) with a bare breast but not the violence -- even when the violence has severed a breast.
These are so bad that I must have them; like African Americans collect the horrible history that is Black Americana, I must have them.
I don't ask you for much, readers... So donate money to me so that I may buy them -- or let me know that you'll be buying them for me. (No need to bid against one another now!)

Very cool!
You wouldn't have used them at home, but at your Moose lodge or VFW christmas dinner.
Alas, only one person sent any money, so I didn't bid -- and they went for far less than I had thought too. Poo. Which means you all owe me.
Those are incredible. How do you find this stuff? I am in love with you and want to have your children. xo, Angela
Ms Angela, you may have my children -- but please be warned, they eat quite a bit and talk even more. I'm quite sure you'll return them shortly. ;)
