There is an annual convention of novelty collectors (mainly ceramic, new and antique, etc). The convention happens to be this Friday and Saturday- July 14th & 15th in New Jersey at the Newark Airport Marriott. Here is a link with some contact information. The site is a bit basic, but will point you in the right direction. There are some members of the club that have over 14,000 sets. I personally only have about 400 sets...(only? I guess obsession is the right word...) This is very kitschie group. http://saltandpepperclub.com/conv/jersey.htm There are so many people obsessed with salt & pepper shakers – there is at least one national organization of collectors with state chapters.

I'm contemplating the Cylindra s&p shakers (http://www.umbra.com/ustore). I love the ones you've pictured, too. I think it's important to be able to see the black and white colors of the spices. Until I find my dream shakers, my s&p are in tiny stainless steel bowls for pinching. I’ve also been obsessed with salt and pepper shakers, although I’m still waiting for the “one” perfect set.
