As a souvenier piece from the 1933/34 Chicago "Century of Progress" exhibition and World's Fair, this shaker exhibits many characteristics of the era. From the aluminum construction to the deco age cocktail recipes engraved into the side of the shaker, this shaker screams "Machine Age."

Scott said: I sold this one for around $80.00 in an online auction. Retail prices would likely be a bit over double that amount.
