I found these the other day, and they really caught my eye, because I love ice cream cones...........one top is white, and the other gray with holes, they are about 4 1/2 inches long, so I assume they are salt and pepper shakers, but they must have gone with some kind of holder,,,,,,,but I cannot find anything even close to them. Any help in identifying them would be greatly appreciated.........Thanks
