The cocktail shaker was the rage during the 1920s and '30s. Shakers in fancy shapes helped mask their purpose during Prohibition. During the Depression shakers lent a glamorous touch to get-togethers, an image immortalized in Hollywood movies of that time. Cocktails are back in fashion, with antique shakers in short supply, and if found, at sky-high prices. These thirst extinguishers will be a welcome accessory to to upscale watering holes of this world. Be they private or public, they will earn their place facing the mirrors.
