A pair of super vintage, art deco, metal Salt and Pepper Shakers from the Chicago World's Fair, held 1933-1934.
A Century of Progress International Exposition, also known as the Chicago World's Fair, was a world's fair held in the city of Chicago, Illinois, United States, from 1933 to 1934.

Its architectural symbol was the Sky Ride, a transporter bridge perpendicular to the shore on which one could ride from one side of the fair to the other.
