Show off some cocktail shakers!

[Lucky Strike]

I couldn't find a specific thread for cocktail shakers, so...(I hope this isn't too forward for a new member):

And a set of cocktail pins and savoury forks:

 

[Mike in Seattle]

Quite a nice collection, I must say!

 

[Lucky Strike]

Oh, these aren't mine - I've just handled them where I work.

I had one that was a bit similar to the third one, with the engraved cocks, but I gave it to my nephew as a christening present...some relatives were unamused, haha.

A few silly ones I picked up lately:

Am I blue...

 

[Mid-fogey]

Oh baby...

...party is at your place. I can hear the cocktails being shaken all the way from Virginia.

And they are Bourbon-based!

Chin-Chin...!!!

That's a great shaker PADDY. Am I right in thinking the spout is where the nectar is poured from? Does it have a built in strainer?

 

[PADDY]

Yes..!

All of the above Ethan. Thanks!!

And 'another' one (pic)

Nice example of a Golden Era cocktail shaker.

Ha! I saw this thread and starting hunting. "I know there's an older thread on shakers here someplace...."

Now I see this IS the older thread!
There's also one on vintage barwear out there. I'll see if I can find it.

 

[PADDY]

I need to accessorize..!

With metal lemon strainer, twizzle sticks...etc.

I saw a beauty of a shaker in the shape of an Art Deco skyscraper that I was so tempted to get!! You could really go to town collecting these things!! But I like to 'use' them - especially for dinner parties..etc.

I once bid on a cocktail shaker with an in-built lemon juicer. Unfortunately outbid but a nice idea.

 

[PADDY]

Well these two beauts have been getting plenty of practice..!!

I've been shaking my little heart out the past couple of days!! Great to bring these old boys back to life again And friends love the fact that they are so old too (and the stories they could tell...).

 

[PADDY]

And if you feel like accessorising...

How about some lovely little Art Deco cocktail sticks...

 

[PADDY]

Deco swizzle anyone...?

 

[jamespowers]

I have this same set already but some of the glasses are in less than perfect condition. This makes two sets that I can play with.

 

[PADDY]

Nice James. Now how about this skyscaper shaker...

 

[jamespowers]

Now that's a cocktail shaker! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap
