The Yeomen Warders of His Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress the Tower of London, and Members of the Sovereign's Body Guard of the Yeoman Guard Extraordinary, popularly known as the Beefeaters, are ceremonial guardians of the Tower of London. In principle they are the palace guard, responsible for looking after any prisoners in the Tower, and safeguarding the British crown jewels. They have also conducted guided tours of the Tower since the Victorian era.
Because of the latter, these shakers could be considered souvenirs. Various Beefeater shakers have been sold throughout the years and pictured below are some additional more vintage versions and a newer version (far right). This set highlighted directly to the right stands 4.5'' tall and is unmarked, but is likely a Japan import from the 1960s or 1970s.
