Antique Questions Forum / Possible cocktail shaker??
« on: September 03, 2012, 07:52:31 pm »
Hello.
I bought this at an estate sale a few days ago here in Jacksonville Florida. I wasnt sure what it was but thought, if nothing else, it would make a pretty cool flower vase.
I thought it might be a water picture or a coffee maker or tea pot. Today I found out it might possibly be a cocktail shaker.
I am posting two pictures of it. One is a side view. Obviously there are missing lids. The other is the bottom of if with the marking. I THINK it was made by the Benedict Manufacturing Company but I cant find any cocktail shakers made by them. And the marking, while the bee with the two B's inside the diamond, match the marks I have found online, all the ones I have seen online have other things, like other words or letters, included.
I am just really curious to find out what exactly it is and from what year. If anyone could help I would really appreciate it. I have spent days trying to figure it out.
