It should surprise no one that I collect cocktail shakers. Not a big collection, maybe half a dozen or so. But this penguin is the greatest shaker I have ever seen. The tip of his nose screws off to allow for pouring. I found him at an antique market in Atlanta a couple of months ago. He was tarnished, dirty and forlorn on a shelf behind a bunch of stuff. But with a good soapy bath and a rub down with silver polishing wipes he is now returned to his former glory. Swanky. The next time I have guests over for martinis.....he is back in the game. Cheers!
Congratulations on the find. The little joys are often the best.
ReplyDeleteI just found one of these at a market in Charleston SC. He is the COOLEST shaker ever. Do you know anything about the value. I paid $12 and I think it's a steal!
ReplyDeleteKim, I don't really know a value but you DID get a steal since I paid over $45 for mine! Good catch!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading The Epic.
Ben, you are very right.
