Yesterday I found a Langerman's Luau salt shaker at a local flea market. I initially hesitated buying it because it was not a complete set, but then I found out that even a single one is a pretty unusual find, so I went back today and got it.


They also had a Trader Vic's salt/pepper shaker there which is normally a non-event, but it indicated it was used as a movie prop in the upcoming "Dear Eleanor" movie which was shot locally. Without a COA it's more of an interesting tidbit than anything else, but it certainly makes me wonder what the setting was in the movie, which is supposed to take place in the 60s.

Excellent find TT. Besides being probably the coolest Tiki shakers around, I have never seen one before from Langerman's. Rather surprising since their signature mug is based on the same design as your Salt/Pepper shaker.

Although those moai SP shakers are common with the Trader Dick label, yours is probably the original version made for Langermans. Glad you went back and got it!!!!
