The make/model of the salt and pepper shakers used on Star Trek: Enterprise, and can provide links to where they can be purchased.
Ya’ll are aware I assume that Doctor McCoy’s medical instruments on Star Trek TOS were all mostly salt shakers?
How precise do you need them? A quick googling brought me to these: http://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Steel-Pepper-Shaker-Inches/dp/B002G7GAAY/ref=dp_cp_ob_k_title_3 . Not exact, but pretty close.
That’s worth at least 2 high fives right?
No, not those ones. I’m looking for the ones that are spheroid, and on the end of longer handles (first season?)
Like this?
Are these what you’re looking for?

Ok BadgerSpoon, not freaking cool. At all.
I like you, I think you’re cool and all, but I just saw your signature and noticed the weeping angel. The reaction was as follows: step 1. Leap into air, striking knee on computer desk. Step 2. Try and run backwards over the toppled computer chair, but fall and strike head on wall. Step 3. Go soothe freshly woken and startled infant who was on the other side of said wall. Step 4. Re-enter room and see angel still on screen. Immediately scream like a bitch, turn, and slam face into corner of the wall.
I frakkin hate you right now.
Center of the table, here:
I knew immediately the ones you were talking about, I was going to post to after seeing a few people post the wrong image. I was going to say “the ones she is talking about are the ones you shake…”
I’m glad I didn’t post that… I hope someone finds these cause I want a set to.
So yo shake them similar to how you ring a bell?
Yeah, they’re only the most awesome shakers in the world.
I would describe it more as an “slimline fapping motion.”
Or, the “jingling your keys because they’re an impromptu musical instrument fashion.”
Or, possibly, the “I don’t know why I’m doing this, but I’m slapping my brand new cigarette pack against my hand. It doesn’t serve any purpose, but all the cool kids are doing it, so…”
But mostly a slimline fapping motion.
Well they aren’t Salt & Pepper shakers…and they are expensive. Better picture found here. I guess you could load them with salt & pepper though.
They are Tea Infusers by Alessi and sold on Amazon.com:

You are my hero. True story.
How did you find them?
Googled for “Captain Archer’s salt & pepper shakers” and followed the first 3 links…read all the comments on the pages. Lead me to the photo on the first and to what they were and the brand on the third.
Oh and if you’ve got $250 to drop on these for salt & pepper shakers I want to be in your will!
doh … I misread the subject … I thought it was free “High Elves” for helping fine these things.
Good thing I have my annual eye exam Tuesday
This process actually does serve a purpose. You smack the filter end of the pack against your hand and it repacks the tabacco against the inside of the filter. If the tabacco settles away from the filter it can lead to tearing when you shake the ashes off by flicking the filter.
I’d rather have Cate Blanchett than high fives or any salt-and-pepper-shaker-slash-tea-infuser on the market.
