Bobbing skeleton head salt and pepper shakers, eBay purchase October 2010 (just in time for Halloween!)

Here’s just another set of salt and pepper shakers that make you ask, “WTF?”  They are a pair of skulls mounted on a lovely ceramic base decorated with roses.  My theory is that these shakers belonged to Jerry Garcia’s grandmother.  When he was discussing the cover art for the Skull and Roses album, he told Alton Kelly, “My nana had the most awesome salt and pepper shakers.  Think you could put them on an album cover?”  Well, it IS just a theory.
