Ok I don't know if I remember how to do pics on here but I am gonna try. I got all of these items in a box for a quarter, and just wondering if there is anything good in there. Never heard of these names and search in Ebay doesn't help much.
bottom says alco china with a copyrite mark
also says alco copyrite mark...I put tape on them to keep them from falling out of the holes
says sakura tm china...these are salt and pepper shakers too
this is a bridge I guess says made in Japan on the bottom with a 90 S in a diamond on the bottom...so what ya say? I prolly got trash huh? Never heard these names before

I say list em. Lots of S&P collectors out there. Maybe all of the shakers as a lot..?. I'm not familiar with the names, but your bridge looks like a vintage piece for a fish tank

Oh what the heck... Rosebids50cents!!
would it be fair to list these as majolica-like?.. that's what they remind me of (kinda) - at least you'd get lots of hits

I agree Rosebids25cents, I think the S&P have a majolica look to them. Chinese majolica? I know people list Japanese majolica.

Sakura (means Cherry Blossom) makes low to mid priced china, not sure of this is the same company. They also make little barns and shakers and such.
Alco I'm not sure about.
90 S is the latitude of the South Pole. If it said 90 N I would think you had an original Santa piece, heh.

Thanks Everyone!
Pwolf> Yes they are indeed scans and from what it says on the top of the scanner it is a Plustek Optic Pro 12000P Hubby has had this scanner for awhile and it works for me. also use Adobe Photo Delux when I use the digital and I really prefer the scanner. Pics are much sharper.
tim99> hee hee hee Actually that 90 S could be 908 but I like your answer better..

Do some research on the aquarium piece. They are fairly collectible and go between 8-15$ or more (depending how rare they are) S&P collectors like the "odd" stuff. You never know, it only takes 2 people that like an item to start a bidding war. Good luck
