That or she found out they were worth a couple million bucks.

She said she wanted them because they are Tupperware. She broke one of the glass shakers she was using.

Tupperware leaves out the couple million bucks.

I put $5 on the set after I saw that. Downsizing.

We saw a collection sell at auction for over $700.00. That was 20 years ago. My husband and I were astonished. Someone sitting near us explained that there was a woodman and axe (?) set that was worth about $800.00 by itself. Spirited and memorable bidding war

I wouldn’t sell them unless I was totally broke. They make me smile and they are so much fun to collect!

It is ceramic, maybe Holt Howard. A black haired lady sitting in a rocker. She is the salt and the rocker is the pepper. Unused, no damage. I was tempted to keep others, but I'm trying to downsize The collection was her grandmother's. My neighbor kept them a long time, then realized that no one in the family wanted them. There are about 300 sets.

How many sets do you have?

I keep the Christmas and Halloween ones put away because I’m running out of room. I substitute teach and show the kids a few sets if they do their work! It’s a great bribe! I was out with my husband one day and this kid ran up to me and asked me if I had any salt and pepper shakers on me. Her parents said she loved seeing them! Sometimes I don’t break them out unless I’m asked in the higher grades. A teacher gave me the other a toaster with two pieces of toast on them salt and pepper shakers. And the other day I brought Peter cottontail rabbit with a watering can.

I try to restrain myself buying them. And whenever I traveled overseas I brought some interesting ones!

I went through this collection when I bought it, I took a few sets of Thanksgiving and holiday sets out. About 15 years ago, I bought a ceramic nodder set at Dollar Tree, Santa's boots nodding on the chimney. I collect Santas, and I loved the humor.

It is really nice to hear that the kids like your sets so much. Maybe get some of them interested in collecting as a hobby.

in my booth had come from her Grandma's house and that I had stolen it. I wasn't there, so I don't know what she was claiming I swiped. Turned out she was a whackadoodle and the police were happy to escort her out. I like your story better.

There's a good bet there's another one out there And googling or eBay is the place to find it! lol

one of the spoons is from the mid 1800's

I collected them over the years. I think I have some of the little glass spoons. Do you know who made yours, or what pattern they are?

If you know of any glass companies in your area, that's always a good place to start.
