The cutest walrus couple ever! The female walrus is grinning, clapping her flippers, and appears to be happy about something. Whereas, the male walrus with the long tusks appears unimpressed. Lol This unique, complete set of walrus vintage salt and pepper shakers are the perfect addition for the collector of vintage housewares.
This adorable walrus couple are vintage salt and pepper shakers by Norcrest from the 1960's. They both have their original silver and blue foil sticker tag adhered underneath each walrus that reads, “REG. US. PAT. OFF Norcrest JAPAN”. Also the letter and numbers “H-643” are in black ink underneath. The male also has the year “1960” handwritten underneath in pencil. They also both have their original cork stoppers. The way they are painted is reminiscent of vintage pop art. Like three-dimensional comic book cartoons. Comical and cute! The male walrus measures approximately 3 and 1/2 inches tall and about 4 inches long. The female walrus measures approximately 3 inches tall and about 4 inches long.
***IMPORTANT CONDITION INFORMATION. PLEASE READ. NO REFUNDS. Both walruses are in excellent, working condition! No cracks, no repairs, and no crazing. There are just teeny tiny surface paint buying chips along the edges of male walrus's tusks and a super tiny chip near the tip of one of his whiskers. There is also a small chip underneath him that you can't see when he's set on a flat surface. The female has no issues at all. Just maybe some very minor paint transfer near and on her whiskers that appear to have happened during the time of manufacturing because the color matches the color of her fur. All in all they are in amazing condition for their age!
