This is a set of the very first salt & pepper shaker's Ball made with original box. 1 round & 1 square jar is the correct way these were packed with zinc caps. You can see in the pic below the date of 1936 embossed on the box.

  These are some of the last style made in the late 1970's probably 1980's. With white & blue caps you can see they now just say Ball Mason.

  These are a special made set for their 100th anniversary. Embossed 1887-1987 Our 100th Year in Muncie & Ball mason on the other side. These are larger 4 ounce shaker's with handles. Redbook #379

  This is basically your 1930's salt/pepper shaker but this one is a little different. This jar has a solid zinc cap and rubber on it which makes it a salesman sample. These were carried around and taken out on the road to promote the quality of Ball jars to perspective buyer's. A real neat item to have in the collection. Circa:1930's

  Here is a set of Ball mini mug shaker's from around 1986 in the 4 ounce size in original box.
