- American, Circa 1920 - 1937 (Prohibition Era, Great Depression Era, and Post World War I/Pre World War II Era item).

Here we have a very special Cocktail Shaker dubbed the “Ruby Lady's Leg” by the West VIrginian Specialty Glass Company. What makes it special isn’t just the unique yet realistic design, but that it’s a Prohibition Era, Great Depression Era, and Post World War I/Pre World War II Era item.

Description:

The famous 1930’s Derby Lady’s Leg cocktail shaker is presented elegant, ruby glass. The top and silver slipper were manufactured by the Derby Shelton Silver co. (as can be seen under the top cover). The Glass Lady's Leg was produced by West Virginia Specialty Glass Co. Widely recognized as one of the most rare and desired shakers from this period! It is marked with the Patent No. 2091604.

The leg has a curvy pin up shape. “She” wears a 1930’s style silver dancing sandal with a perfect cuban heel and working buckle. (Yes, you can take her shoe off.) It features a chromium cap and strainer with air spout for easy pouring of your top-shelf classic cocktails. It measures 15 1/2″ high.

The silver designs on the sides of the leg show wear as is usual with this shaker.

This is such a rare piece and quite the conversation stater.
