salt and pepper container

In "The Book of buckskinning IV" on page 151 is a picture of a container for salt and pepper made ​​today.
Have any of you seen these containers from the XVIII, XIX century?
I searched the Internet but came across no picture ...

The shape is more like a salt shaker from the tenth century Viking.

I believe this to be a primitive buckskinning device of modern design. Although one can see a vague resemblance to a Euro powder flask, this is IMHO more akin to a copper flagon made to exactly hold and cover a can of beer or a neatly contrived box of wood, metal or leather designed around a pack of Marlboro Lights. Neat idea on a modern need or desire. Even into the 20th century here in VA, it was common to use a "salt" or "cellar" which was a small vessel and spoon instead of a shaker. I dont think shakers go back too far and the date point of origin is not a perfect factor in deciding common use.

Yup,Buckskinner nouveau! My Polish Grandparents would NOT use a shaker,a purpose made bowl for the salt and pepper with cool little spoon's. Also had the same for paprika and caraway seed.
