I collect Occupied Japan porclean and recently bought a box of salt and pepper shakers to go through (side note, I found a pair of OJ shakers and sold off the rest). Anyways, while doing some research I found this coin related shaker set. Can you tell me why this shaker set is considered a matching pair?  |

I have a guess, is this something you know the answer to, or are you asking for answers?

Because one's a cent, and the other makes scents!  |

I'm saying theyre from a fairy tale or nursery rhyme. I don't know which one but I'm sure it's just a Google search away

Oh ok, my Google-fu for "cent skunk" and "a penny skunk" just keeps turning up drug busts. I just thought it was a play on words. I liked them because the cent is not a Lincoln Memorial reverse like you would see now a days. I also found this. If anyone has one they want to sell I have a blank cheque! (It will bounce but still, free cheque)  |

A picture book called "A Skunk and His Junk" by Pam Sheunemann? Maybe American Google is different then Google.ca? I just keep getting reports on drug busts.

How much money does a skunk have? One scent! Why was the skunk arrested for counterfeiting? Because he gave out bad scents (cents).  |

This made me smile. Never heard those jokes before! Love the salt and pepper shakers. Which was for salt and which was for pepper? |
