West Bend American Art Deco Cocktail Shaker

This rare American art deco cocktail shaker was designed by Ralph N. Kircher for the West Bend Aluminum Company, West Bend, Wisconsin in 1934. The chrome body has top and bottom rings of knurled black Bakelite and an aluminum cap with a red Bakelite finial. The base is marked "WB" in a circle. The shaker is in excellent original condition and has apparently never used. It is 12" tall.
