He was a comedian back in the 1950s that would appear on various variety shows. Cool piece!

No smoke--just a little light "bzzzz" He has a "buzz on" (couldn't resist it, ooops)

My bar tender was in fact a drinker who poured his cocktail in a martini glass and drank it, no saké, only made in japan.
Ooooh when I see your, I miss them (and This part of my childhood!).

Saw one of these at a Goodwill but it was in very bad condition. Almost grabbed it but Didn't think I could make the necessary repairs,but it was a nice reminder of days gone by. Fun videos online of Charley Weaver having a drink.
