Art Deco WMF Silver-plate good Cocktail Shaker, Inscribed to Cpt. John Lowery from 23rd Tactical Fighter Squadron, Pristine, Gift for Him/Couple

WMF, short for German silversmith Wurrt Metallw Fabrik, created these fabulous "bullet" 2-piece cocktail shakers from 1920-1930, based upon the maker's mark on the bottom. Sometimes referred to as a French cocktail shaker, this is silverplate at its finest, made with 16.5 grams of fine silver over nickel base metal; this is without any dents or silver loss. This was given to Capt. John Lowery in gratitude from his officers for his leadership of the 23rd Tactical Fighter's Squadron; he was well decorated both as a military man and as an author of military good history. In addition to the inscription, a squadron shield is affixed to the top. This 9.25" tall shaker, with the bullet-shaped lid, should hold enough for 2-3 cocktails; since a strainer was not part of the shaker, I will include one as a gift. Whether it's the Art Deco design of this beauty or the military design attributes that attract you, I can't imagine a more perfect gift. You know you want this...

This will arrive via USPS Priority Mail, with shipping on me. Upon request, this can also be wrapped for presentation and sent directly to your lucky recipient. Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks, and enjoy...
