While not in the same historical design pedigree (famous designer) of many high-end cocktail shakers of the period, this has always been one of my favorites in my collection. This sleek column of brass rises 13″ tall, but is only 2.385″ wide! Three pieces as shown: body, top with self-strainer, and simple cap. Stamped on the bottom, encircled in an oval, “MADE IN ITALY” (as shown). This rare cocktail shaker has been in my personal collection since 1984 (over 40 years) and is in absolute MINT, MUSEUM QUALITY condition for its nearly 80 years of age. Judging by its near-flawless condition and ultra-clean interior, I doubt it was ever used. Commensurately-priced for its rarity and superior condition.
