Thy Bar Shall Not Be Boring - Ingenious Shaped Cocktail Shakers

Who doesn't want to fancy up their bar with Mr. PenguinThe penguin with his natural tuxedo symbolized the good life

This silver-plate golf bag cocktail shaker from the 1930s was made by the International Silver Company. Collector's item.
The rooster, or "cock of the walk," served as a symbol for tavern signs. Also a silver-plate cocktail shaker by the International Silver Company.
A very rare 1927 International Silverplate Lighthouse shaker with the factory installed music box on the bottom that still works. It is 14" tall to accommodate lots of drink.


All of the above are super pricey, but the hunt is part of the fun. You never know when you might stumble across a uniquely-shaped cocktail shaker at an antique store, estate sale, or on Great-Aunt Linda's bar. Happy hunting.
