Large Art Deco novelty silver plated Prohibition lighthouse cocktail shaker
Very unusual silver plated Art Deco novelty cocktail shaker; a faithful recreation of the Boston Lighthouse, the first lighthouse to be built in America, right down to the windows on its sides.
Shakers like this were designed to look different than the classic shaker shape. This was done to make them less easily recognisable by the police in the 1920's during the era of Prohibition in the USA.
Once meant to not attract attention in speakeasies, this shaker is sure to be a conversation piece in your own barware collection today!
Made by James Deakin & Sons, Sheffield, England, c. 1930's
