Vintage Avon “1876 Cape Cod Collection” Salt & Pepper Shakers EUC

Vintage ruby red salt and pepper shakers from the Avon 1876 Cape Cod Collection, produced starting in 1975. The name of the collection commemorates the 100th anniversary of the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial and the Declaration of Independence.  They are made of deep red pressed glass featuring a classic textured pattern and hexagonal bases. *Excellent condition-appear to be unused*  There’s a small 2 digit number stamped on the bottom: Numbers like 18 or 31 are glass mold numbers. When the pieces were pressed at the Wheaton Glass Company factory, multiple identical molds were used on the production line simultaneously. The number indicates the specific mold cavity used, which allowed the factory to track quality control and trace any manufacturing issues back to a specific tool.
