Description: How rare and desirable is this pigeon's blood ruby red glass cocktail set?In my experience: 1. You'll find a shaker with heavy sterling overlay of this set occurring in about 1 in every 75 glass shakers of this quality in any era2. It's glass that amazingly doesn't have a chip or a scratch, and that's kinda rare in something that was used for entertaining throughout prohibition and beyond.3. The top features a cork stopper, which ties it to the first ten years of prohibition.4. It also has a top cap without cracks which occur in almost half of all shakers with a metal top cap5. It has not 2, 4 or six matching shots but a full set of eight - again without chips or scratches.6. It is in the most desirable color of pigeon's blood red, found in less than 1 in 75 prohibition glass cocktail shakers, in my experience7. The whole set shows minimal wear and zero damage A great gift, the silver overlay would love a gentle polish with a quality silver polish and it will beam and shimmer even more Please review ALL photos for condition for more details and to know exactly what you will receive.
