'Thirst extinguisher' by Asprey, 1932
A particularly rare novelty cocktail shaker in the form of a 1930s fire extinguisher. Eight classic cocktail recipes are revealed by simply turning the base. Asprey & Co. introduced the satisfyingly expensive 'Thirst Extinguisher' to their luxury range in 1932 and surviving examples, in excellent condition, are especially appreciated by present day collectors.
Height overall: 16 inches (41 cms).
