In keeping with the cat theme I thought I would post these salt and pepper shakers (and no, I do not own a cat! allergies :(
These are possibly pewter, no silver marks found, just the 781 number. Both of their heads unscrew to put the salt and pepper in. The dog has glass eyes one of which comes loose from time to time. Any ideas about maker or country of origin would be welcome.
Thanks for looking!

Very nice wolcott !! The cat must be the pepper. ( Makes you sneeze ) : )
Hi Lundy,Do you think they are silver? I'm not certain that mine are pewter.
Hi Hedge, When I was polishing it earlier I noticed that there were reminents of pepper inside the dog! The cat is a salty sort I think. Thanks!!
pewter it looks, i wish they were real silver for you
Thanks Lundy!
Ooops, I just read on a few sites that you should not polish pewter, especially with silver polish. It didn't seem to affect the surface except it's shinier. Still not sure if it's pewter...
Thanks packratplace, Scandi, Lisa and lostinspace!!
Thanks Bellin68!
