China, pottery, or porcelain double salts.Since there is probably not enough wood or other material doubles for a separate category, let's add those in after the 15th. But china all month long (does not have to be before the 15th).

The literal translation for "depuis" is "since". I've had salts with that in the signature, but I forget what the significance is.Your #2 is from Serbia. I've had a couple of those over the years.Jane

Peasant girl double, with 2 spoons, 3" tall. Markings in pen around inside bottom skirt."Ba Ba, Drobak". I think I got it from Mary, maybe she knows the meaning. I took it to mean "Mother and perhaps a city?" The "o" has a line through it.

Mary Kern02-01-201412:02 PM ET (US)IP: 72.220.213.56

Hi Nancy - I have her match in green - It is the Artist's name if I remember correctly - There are many versions of her and also a single boy and girl - Many color combos on both children and the lady double - They are such fun - I will have to see if my little green girl has a picture handy - Many different name signatures also - or are they cities - no if cities would be on the front of the piece with great pride - Seems all signatures are on the bases - so must be as I first



remembered - Artists/painters --Janelle - Love your little flower handled one --Short sit period right now - been playing with my picture folders this morning and sat too long -- Up and at 'em now trying to stretch those lazy ole back muscles -- Not too strenuously though -- Trust me on that one - lol lol - I think most of my pictures are going to be my Faience babies - But I do have a few other porcelain/china ones -- Next month when we do metals and misc I will have more input - This month - mostly drooling and saline sweats --

"Thank you Debi" ????? Well one of you better have another of that adorable bear double - You both were probably not aware of the fact that when I was working - everyone called me Mare BEAR - even the owners of the company knew - B E A R -- Every pay day - BEAR tidings at my office door -- Nothing personal - Just saying ................



IP: 72.220.213.56

Oh never mind - I forgot I am a cat person now and I am not into porcelain - Whew - I almost blew it there -- He is very special though Jane and I know he resides in the best Bear Home in These United States of America !!!!

84


I think when Jane bought that bear from me several years ago is when I found out she collected bear salts. Trying to remember why I sold it!?? He is a cutie, and mainly blue and white. But I know he's in a good home with plenty of bear buddies now.

85


Oh, yes, he has lots of bear buddies - even stuffed ones!Well, now I know where that salt is a souvenir from - at last!I think I forgot to mention that I found one more glass double and posted it with "Last Month".Jane

86


Jane you do know that if I had had him - You still would have wound up with him -- You are the Bear Collector in this group !! Even Kaylin loves to bear cuddle ---

You should see her this morning. Phil is laying on his back reading - and she is laying right up between his legs! She is Phil cuddling now!Jane

This double is very tiny.

Nancy DIetel

02-07-201409:39 AM ET (US)IP: 74.105.137.82

Here is a basket double, marked Limoges, France. I doubt the marks, the quality is not there.The reason I'm finding salts is because many are in the basement or the 2nd floor rooms.I have not been able to climb stairs in many months. Don has found the last 3. Just wanted to assure everyone that I am not quite "dotty" yet!

101


Nice, Nancy. That's like the Vaseline one I posted under "Last Month".Jane

102


Hey There Mama Debi - If we have signed in on any of the past topics - If someone adds to one of them - do we still get an e-mail from that topic and poster -- If so then forgotten or newly acquired ones could easily be posted with their salt mates right? I think it works that way - but cannot remember - You know just sitting around with nothing to do but think of dumb questions for you to answer --

103




It's not a dumb question. If you sign up with the GET EMAIL button, then yes, you will get an email under that title. I got an email for Double the Fun when Jane posted her vaseline version of Nancy V's last post here. If there are no more posts then you won't get any more email for that topic. Then once I convert the old topics to PDF, the topics are completely deleted and there will never be any more email under those titles. So it's best to GET EMAIL and be notified of posts of past topics as well as the current one. As of now, anyone could still post to old topics using the Past Topics link above back to May 2013.Nancy V: You can add your glass piece under the Last Month link above and then it would be in the correct category.

104

Nancy C Villaverde02-08-201406:17 PM ET (US)IP: 76.183.241.97

129


Gee whiz, Mary, those vintage pieces from the 50's may be valuable. I see stuff on ebay that is much less interesting. And did you ever have any doubt that you are a hoarder? Maybe "collector" is just a cover name. lol

I've had that pattern on 132 on a single. I don't remember what the mark was. Maybe someone else will recognize it.

I have a Villeroy & Boch small round individual with the same basic pattern. I don't have a picture taken of it.

143

Judy in Texas02-11-201410:23 AM ET (US)IP: 68.94.8.234

I don't have many doubles, and I already saw the Lotus double that I have. I don't think I've seen a Meissen "BLUE ONION" so here is a photo of mine. I bought it because the pattern was my Mom's favorite. Judy

144

Nancy C Villaverde02-11-201411:20 AM ET (US)

Lovely, Judy. That was probably what I had, Debi.

Impressed mark "Minton's" on Blue Onion type double

146


Very similar to the last one. Green stamped mark "Copeland" on Blue Onion type double.

147


I still have more pictures to take but not many. Judy, I have that Meissen Blue Onion double too. I think I have more Blue Onion salts than any others, somewhere around 30, but they are mostly individuals.

Another pretty double, from my friend, Mary :)

170


Okay - Let us just say - I drool and I covet !!

171


I have a donkey too -- I had the one where the sacks come off - Wonder what I did with it -- So cute !!

172


I love these pewter doubles - I have several - they are all so similar and yet just a touch different -



173


The Rein Zinn Saltz side

174


The Peffer side

175

Mary Kern02-22-201409:43 PM ET (US)IP: 72.220.213.56 This is the little brother to the double I posted last month under glass -

The mustard is the cut to clear - At first I thought it was a rather good marriage - but when it is with the stemmed double - they match completely -

176


A different style of the pewter doubles - Have several of these too - each just a bit different that the other -

177




I almost forgot my little boy - I know that right now I forgot the company name - When it comes to me - I will post it --

178


And my girl and kitty - she is really a match safe - but not in this house --

179


Conte Bohemie or something like that --

Mary, love all the additions to the page. I have never seen anything like those pewter doubles you posted. An entire new category for me. Really cute.

189

Susie P02-23-201408:21 AM ET (US)IP: 75.103.187.136

Mary,That French double is stunning! You posted Lots of treats for us - good way to start off Sunday!Susie

190


Mary, I have never seen anything like the pewter doubles either. Ohhh - that green and white with the cat and the little girl is a German fairing, I think. It would apparently fit in with my other kitties. If you just send it along, I could tell for sure.Jane

191

Sue Sawyer02-24-201410:28 AM ET (US)IP: 173.88.45.26

I have a pewter double just like Mary's, though mine is a bit more worn but clearly shows the "pfeffer" and "salz." Was going to post it, but Mary beat me to the draw. I also have one with the pepper shaker on top of the salt. Sue

192


Oh Sue - Please post the "stackers" -- Would love to see them - I have several of the Pewters but they are on loan - When they get home - I will see if Bob will do a group picture for me - Or heck - single shots -- I mean what the heck do I make his peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for if not photo service --

193


This one is a single for Saltz only - Same size as the doubles - Okay



Sue - I went off subject/topic - which everyone knows I never ever do at all even once - So you can show your stackers - I do not think I gave a size for the doubles - They are 3 5/8" long - 2 1/8 across and to the top of the lids 1 1/4" - so they are very compact - The one I showed has a mermaid design - I will see if I have a close up of it - The pictures make this one look better than it actually is Sue - The flat topped ones are always smoother and in better shape than the center handled ones - Perhaps they are newer versions -

194


Boy am I confused er what - The one I posted was the Polynesian couple - Here is the mermaid design

195


Only other picture I have of it - so as you can see they are all quite similar - just the bowl designs and the tops differ - Easy to get cornfused --

196


Then while going back - I found my Plain Jane - This was my first one that got me hooked - Aaah Yes Debi - Another sub-collection I forgot about - and then there are the ornate triangular shaped silver ones and the ............

Oh, come on, Mary! You're killing me! I never saw any of those you are showing us. You are creating a monster here in NJ.

198


Oh JANE JANE JANE - I award you a Certificate of Graduation from Aunt Mary's Coveting and (illegally) Collecting College of Salt-Aholics --- Pretty smooth - Enough to grad-e-ate - but not enough to totally get the job done - lol lolWell NANCY - When they all come home to roost - I will see if I have any duplicates -

199


I almost forgot this style - Very heavy - divided bowl - simply marked 95% ETAIN - I know - now I have to go look it up - "metals" - I love metals - Have we done metals ...

200


Well I thought I posted this - but it does not show - Ding bat probably forgot to hit the send button - Anyway - Extremely HEAVY - Divided bowl - Marked 95% ETAIN -- Pewter !! Love me metals --- Sub of the sub of the sub --

201


Yes I am off my medications - why would you ask -------------------------

OK, Mary, here are my pewter salts.

Sue Sawyer02-24-201406:24 PM ET (US)IP: 173.88.45.26

And the single...

204


And the stacker...

02-24-201406:34 PM ET (US)IP: 74.105.137.82

Sue, I never saw anything like the pewter stacker either! I can't believe after all these years I missed an entire (new for me) category. How can that possibly be?

207


Oh Nancy - Tis Simple - SUE is a pewter hoarder ------------------------ Thank goodness I do not have a stacker or I would have to claim Hoarderness myself - (Nice save - if I do say so myself)

208


A hoarder, huh? And this from the queen of hoarding! I actually was a salt spoon hoarder before our move...somehow lost all my beautiful salt spoons in the move. I'm still sick about it. Had some lovelies, and my brother-in-law made me a spoon rack with tiny little holes that just fit in my hutch with my salts. Hope they are in that great spoon rack in the sky...

209


Mary and Sue - you've been holding out on us! I didn't even know there were salts like those!Jane

210


Sue: They are so light, are you sure they aren't still in a box you think is too light to have anything inside? I did that once with a blown glass ornament, the really thin kind of glass. I hope you come across them some time.

211

Sue Sawyer02-25-201407:18 AM ET (US)IP: 173.88.45.26

Thanks, Debi. I think I've looked every possible place, but I haven't given up hope yet. I just hope that box that is too light didn't get thrown out.

212


Oh Sue - I have done the same thing - When we moved from the apartment to our house - I only had a few spoons at the time and I wrapped them in a paper towel and put them in a very safe place that I promptly forgot what it was and where it was - Every time I would think about them my stomach would go into knots - I kept trying to say it was over and let it go but far easier said than done -It took me three or four years to find them - Had put them in a vanity box that was my grandmother's - I finally decided one day to use that box on my bathroom counter - There was this wad of paper toweling inside -- Keep the faith .... me

217


How do you FIND these things, Mary??????Jane

218

Mary Kern02-26-201411:31 AM ET (US)IP: 72.220.213.56

Hi Jane - I have been buying/bidding on most of my Faience pieces from the same seller - We became friends and now when she finds something out of the ordinary or that she thinks I do not have - She sends pictures and asks if I am interested - She only deals in Faience / Quimper and I have sent her pictures of my collection so she knows what not to bother with for me - lol lol -- Double lucky with her - got a friend and a seller of what I like -- m

219

Debi RaitzMarch will be cut glass. Not cut to clear, just plain cut glass in clear or solid colors.

After begging and pleading - I could be in the toilet on this one --- sigh -----

Hoo boy! Got to take some pictures for March. I have quite a number of cut glass both colored and clear, but I don't think I've photographed most of them, at least not for years. Sparkle Plenty--remember her from Dick Tracy comics?
