About the Item

Rare "shake a leg" ruby glass cocktail shaker and original matching glasses made in 1937 by the West Virginia specialty glass company. The silver plated mounts were made in Connecticut for these social pieces. The top screws off to reveal the strainer. As you might imagine, many of these were broken throughout the years and we could only find 2 other comps when researching. Very elegant and the perfect gift for that person who has everything already
