1800s Cocktail Shaker

I thought that you might all be interested in this device. It was found buried in the basement of what used to be a bar. They probably got rid of it during prohibition. It’s now back in regular use.

Makes me wonder if some enterprising bar manager has employed one of those paint shakers they have at the hardware store in their program…

Inspired by Wayne Curtis’s experiment with one at Tales of the Cocktail, I once deployed a couple of them to mix and serve 400 Morning Glory Fizzes in less than 15 minutes. Very effective. I still have one of the infernal machines somewhere.
