Vintage 1987 Franklin Mint Panda Bear Salt & Pepper Shakers

Vintage 1987 Panda Bear Salt & Pepper Shakers (Franklin Mint - Noahs Ark Theme Two By Two). Adorable and highly collectible shakers, incredible hand painted figurines.  Their sweet faces say it all! The Franklin Mint started in 1964 by Joseph M. Segel who was one of the earliest entrepreneurs in collectibles. He set the tone for later companies to create a collecting niche and then fill it. The Franklin Mint was a private mint, and eventually expanded their offerings from just things made out of gold and silver.
