Anyone own a set of the vintage salt shakers for McCoys "scalpel"?

[Funky]

Does anyone actually own a set of these? I've been looking for a while but I haven't been able to come up with any info. Obviously they are from the 60's, but does anyone have a brand name or any info on the markings (if any)?

The only thing mine says is "Made in Denmark"

I PM'ed FJ but for anyone else what you are looking for is the Danish Eames-era salt and pepper shaker. They made a bunch of different similar styles but the ones on the show looked like this:

The real ones are wood but in the picture above and on the show they were painted green and red. I hope this helps.

Wow, that looks like a hardcover book! Is it or just an internet illusion?

Actually, if you look carefully at the green one, you can see just a tiny bit of misalignment where they used green tape, not paint.

Those are, of course, replicas.

I have a couple screen caps that show the colors of the "scalpels". The red one looks to be the reddish orange that was used throughout the series on set pieces and props.

Those are replicas of course. What you are seeing is the misalignment of the masking tape but they are indeed painted.

Will,
What color green did you use on your replicas?
I am making a set for a freind, and I want to get it right.
Thanks!

Odd... the only cap I have is this one. Must be on another backup somewhere.
