But its a lot of fun to collect things that you not only like, but also get some use out of. I use my shakers and my antique radios often. I have friends that collect NASCAR and other memorabilia and they never take the items out of the box so that they stay in "mint" condition. I will never understand that! If you are not going to enjoy what you collect, why bother??? It would be like buying a tiki mug and never taking it out of the box to drink out of it. What would be the fun of that? Anyway, good luck with your shaker collection. I see a lot of silver and silver plate shakers at antique and consignment shops that are a lot cheaper than the shakers that I posted above. A lot of them kinda look like trophies because they have handles on the sides. That would be an inexpensive way to get your collection started.
