These salt and pepper shakers were produced as souvenirs for the 1962 Seattle World's Fair, also known as the Century 21 Exposition. The fair ran from April 21 to October 21, 1962, and showcased innovations in science, technology, and space exploration during the height of the Space Age. The iconic Space Needle, built specifically for the fair, became the enduring symbol of both the event and the city of Seattle.

World's Fair memorabilia appeals to collectors of vintage Americana, Space Age artifacts, and Seattle historical items. These shakers represent a significant moment in mid-century American culture when optimism about the future and space exploration captured the public imagination. Such pieces are valued by souvenir collectors, World's Fair enthusiasts, and those interested in 1960s design and nostalgia for their historical significance and charming representation of the era.

Each is 2.75” tall and 2.5” wide.
