DESCRIPTION
A superb “dial-a-drink“ recipe cocktail shaker made in Great Britain produced in the 1930's. The mechanism works by rotating the shaker, each small adjustment revealing windows which describe how to make a different cocktail, the top mounted with a measuring cup and handles, stamped 'patented in great Britain no398119, other patents pending'.
Just as the prohibition era was lifted in the USA in 1933, it is easy to imagine the appeal behind these objects which would have made wonderful items to wow their guests. As relevant today as it was then, it makes a fantastic conversation piece and wonderful as part of a collection of bar ware in the modern home.
