Vintage Martini Shaker

Friday, January 25, 2013

 Our last find from our Ellijay outing was this 
Silver Plate (Forbes Silver Co.) Martini Shaker
 
 This happens to be a new collection we've started and what drew us to this one was the engraving of individual drink recipes on the top rim.  We got a kick out of some of the names and thought the Clover Club would be a fun drink for St. Patrick's Day and 
Horse's Neck would be fitting for the Kentucky Derby.

  1. Wow! What a neat shaker. I cannot believe the many recipes could be printed on the rim. Is a silver company we know? Grams

  4. Quick question for you, I have the exact same cocktail jigger, mine has the rotating cap that covers the drink selections and haven't been able to find any other information on it. We're you given the manufacture date or any other information on it. Please let me know if you have the time. Thank you very much. My email is Hummelstownconstable16@gmail.com
