DescriptionThese are two rectangular prism-shaped white salt and pepper shakers with reliefs of the Sandia Mountain Crest painted on one side of each shaker. The images are different on each shaker, and side by side they create a full image of the Sandia Peak Tram parking lot with the mountains in the background. There are red and blue cars, green trees, and sand-colored ground on the salt shaker. The salt shaker has a hole in its underside but no stopper. At the bottom edge of this shaker it says, “Sandia Crest N.M.” On the bottom, it is stamped with “Japan.” There is a black painted “S” on the top with eight holes drilled within the line of the letter. At the bottom edge of the pepper shaker it says, “ALT. 10,678 FT.” There is a black painted “P” on the top with eight holes drilled into the line of the letter. The pepper shaker has a cork stopper in its bottom hole.On View
