I found a pepper shaker at a thrift store on my way home yesterday from Dallas. I was looking on eBay for a salt mate, but then realized that mine has a "P" on the head and some on ebay had nothing but the holes. Anyone know which one is older (with or without the letter). I'd post a pic, but I'm at work and many of you know what these guys look like. Alice caught me trying to...adopt... one of those guys back in May.

I have several sets of these guys and you pose a good question. In examining the (orangish)lettered ones I have, I found some to have a foil "Japan" sticker on the bottom, however they have plastic stoppers.

The tan and brown holed ones that I have do not have any markings or labels on the bottom and they have cork stoppers. I am inclined to believe these are older than the lettered ones? They are a little cruder in finish and lighter than the others as well
