Featured Elvis-Showgirls Salt Pepper Shakers

I have a S&P book but don't see these listed. Anyone know maker? Old or newer?

 

I don't know for sure, but didn't Elvis start wearing costumes like that in the '70s?

So, I'd guess 1970s or later.

OMG! Where's the picture of the bottom?

 

I think the Elvis jumpsuit is called "Pinwheel", dates to the early 1970's

IMHO, this looks like a typical tourist item, probably made in Asia/Japan/Taiwan, and the actual maker is probably not important. It will appeal to an Elvis fan, rather then a pottery fan.

 

There are some on the worthpoint site that say they were made by Encore. I'm guessing China. You can find a lot of college and other souvenir shakers by them.

 

LOVE THEM as I saw him there in early '70s and got his autograph!

 

Bases

 

When did plastic plugs begin to become common place?

 

This is the COOLIOEST thing I've seen in a lonnnnnnnng time!
So is Elvis the pepper and the showgirl the salt?

 

Elvis has 3 holes. the girl has 4

 

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

 

Not much difference but she's the salt then.

 

Elvis may have left the building, but many people still love him. They could be for someone who collects all things Elvis, or Las Vegas or showgirls.
