  I disagree that the saltshaker never appeared in "The Man Trap".
I am pretty sure that it was visible on the tray Yeoman Rand was
carrying and that the creature (disguised as Crewman Green) actually
made a grab for the shaker on the tray, much to the annoyance
of Rand.
  BTW, I also seem to remember that the shaker used did come from
the NBC commisary.  Feinberg, I believe, had been asked to find
futuristic salt shakers, and found them, but they looked so
unlike salt shakers that they were unusable.  Finally they
decided to simply use an ordinary salt shaker.  The salt
shakers which Feinberg had found became McCoy's medical
instruments. 
  (This entire story can be found in "The Making of Star Trek".
I'll check on it.)
