Overview

A classic mid-century stainless steel cocktail shaker featuring a sleek, tapered silhouette and a professional-grade finish.

Story

In the years following World War II, the 'cocktail hour' became a sacred ritual of suburban American life, a transition from the workday to the social evening.

Maker / Origin

Mr. Bartender Products, Inc. was a quintessential mid-century brand based in Southern California, with operations in Torrance and Buena Park.

Condition & Value

The surface shows some light scuffing and water spotting consistent with age and use. It appears to be missing the small top cap that covers the strainer, which is a common issue with vintage shakers. The presence of the original 'Mr. Bartender' stamp on the bottom is clear and well-preserved.
