Quick Draw McGraw Shakes Some Salt

Ever wanted Quick Draw McGraw and other Hanna-Barbera classics represented in the form of salt and pepper shakers? I doubt you've ever thought about that, but luckily enough, the people at Westland Giftware did. They gave us several sets focused on a variety of Hanna-Barbera shows, and today, I'll showcase some of my favorites. I don't know for sure when these were released, but given they were packaged with the generic Hanna-Barbera branding, I'd say sometime within the last twenty years.

The first ones I'll showcase are of Quick Draw McGraw. Somehow, he got two different releases. The first has one shaker depicting McGraw on his banjo, and another of Baba Looey looking annoyed. The second set contains both McGraw and a bandit in a classic showdown. Both sets are great, but I think I prefer the second one by a small margin.




Here are two more of the more interesting ones. The first was based on Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy. It's nothing too exciting, but you rarely see these two in more recent merch, so I can't complain that much. The second has both Snagglepuss and Huckleberry Hound. Both of these characters were featured in other sets, but you get both of them here. That I also can't complain about.



    


As I said, there were many of these sets produced. Far more than I was ever expecting. Perhaps in the future I'll show them all off. But for now, revel in Snagglepuss, Quick Draw, and the rest in all their salty glory.
