Here are two wooden salt and pepper shakers which are souvenirs from Will Rogers State Park.  In the mid-20th Century these types of wooden items were popular at state and national parks. Everything that could be made from burlwood or pine or sliced up branches or tree trunks with the bark still clinging to them were shaped, sanded and shellacked and sold as popular tourist items.

This salt and pepper shaker set is a wonderful example of the folksy tourist art from that era. The set is in very good condition as you can see, and the original corks at the bottom of the set are still in good condition, intact and clean.

From Wikipedia:
William Penn Adair Rogers (November 4, 1879 – August 15, 1935) was an American vaudeville performer, actor, and humorous social commentator. He was born as a citizen of the Cherokee Nation, in the Indian Territory (now part of Oklahoma), and is known as "Oklahoma's Favorite Son".[2] As an entertainer and humorist, he traveled around the world three times, made 71 films (50 silent films and 21 "talkies"),[3] and wrote more than 4,000 nationally syndicated newspaper columns.[4] By the mid-1930s, Rogers was hugely popular in the United States for his leading political wit and was the highest paid of Hollywood film stars.
