Wow, these are awesome. What do they go for and are they hard to find? Are they vintage or new?

The lantern shakers are new reproduction of a vintage shakers which were originally produced by Asprey’s of London around 1935. The green is the "starboard" ship's lantern and the red is the "port" I've read that the originals are very rare. You can get the reproductions for anwhere between $110 and $150 online. The cheapest I've seen it being sold for is at this site: http://www.maritime.org/cgi-local/SoftCart.exe/online-store/scstore/p-X9255.html?E+scstore. This site http://www.sportys.com/acb/showdetl.cfm?&did=22&product_id=2057&fromgoogle=yes sells them in both red and green.

Cynfulcyner: Thanks for your reply. I've seen that tiki shaker too. I was just hoping to find something not plastic.
