OBJECTS OF DESIGN.
Please note EBAY is working very badly at the moment causing all sorts of problems, so if something goes wrong please persist & let me know if I can help!
They have also introduced a new fee structure, of @11% commission on the sale price and also any postal charges, adding an extra selling fee to the listing fee & then a new VAT charge onto these combined fees, that have raised the costs for selling so please do bear this in mind should you be considering an offer scenario.
DESCRIPTION :- THIS IS A VERY RARE CHANCE TO PURCHASE AN ORIGINAL GENUINE ICONIC ART DECO "RECIPE" OR "HOW TO MAKE.." COCKTAIL SHAKER IN GREAT ORIGINAL CONDITION, WITH ITS GREAT BRITAIN PATENT NUMBER OF 398119 & " OTHER PATENTS PENDING" MARKS.
MADE WITH GREAT ATTENTION TO DESIGN, DETAIL AND PRODUCTION THIS CONSISTS OF THE SHAKER AND LID THAT SITS WITHIN AN OUTER SLEEVE. THE UPPER GOLD PLATED BAND LISTS THE COCKTAILS YOU CAN CREATE AND THE FIVE SMALL WINDOWS SHOW THE HIGHLIGHTED INGREDIENTS IN GOLD. THIS IS A REAL COLLECTORS' PIECE AND IS PRICED ACCORDINGLY WHILST TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE FEW CONDITION ISSUES MENTIONED BELOW. IN PRISTINE CONDITION THESE ACHIEVE ALMOST £2000.
SIZE :- SEE PHOTOS FOR VISUAL SIZES.
MARKS :- UNMARKED
CONDITION :- OVERALL THIS IS IN VERY GOOD WITH JUST USE & WEAR COMMENSURATE WITH AGE AS SHOULD BE EXPECTED AND THERE IS NO MAJOR DAMAGE OR OBVIOUS RESTORATION. THERE IS A LITTLE WEAR TO THE LACQUER WITHIN THE SLEEVE AND SOME MINOR WEAR TO THE BAND OF DRINKS. THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS TH GOLD LID HAS WEAR AS SHOWN.
THE OTHER THING THAT NEEDS MENTIONING IS THAT THE LID HAS THREE SHORT SLITS TO THE WALL. SEVERAL OF US HAVE LOOKED AT THIS AND CANNOT DECIDE WHETHER THESE ARE INTENTIONAL TO PREVENT THE LID STICKING, WHICH WE HAVE SEEN BEFORE, OR HISTORIC SPLITS. IF IT IS THE LATTER THEN THEY ARE VERY UNIFORM !
AGE :- EARLY 20TH CENTURY.
