Only thing I bought Saturday were these corn on the cob holders. Been trying to get an age on them. They were made by Hacker Incorporated Culver City, Calif
Very Art Deco looking to me. There is not much info. on them which could be a good thing. I haven't found an age yet but I did find something interesting, a quote from a lady that has the same set says "Since I did not live with my father I have now idea where or when he bought them. Daddy died 40 years ago so it may be a lost cause." See reply number 44 here- http://www.foodbanter.com/general-cooking/133085-when-corn-holders-attack-3.html
Pictured below are the ones she got from her father who died 40 years ago.
Also I found this although I don't know if they are the same as yours because the info. is very limited but take a look at auction lot number 153 and the price realized. http://www.lamodern.com/html/prices_realized_5_6_01.html
Thanks for the info, I had seen the auction listing but not the corn forum blog. There is no zip code to go with the town, which is usually a give away on age. Guess I'll just toss them on ebay and see what happens.
Make sure you list them as rare because by all accounts they are. Art Deco Era is another good Key word term for the title. Good luck and let us know how they do.
