Here's another Goodwill treasure that immediately went into my basket as soon as I spotted the little cocktail shaker on the shelf, then the matching glass for it. Scoured the rest of the shelves very closely but sadly there was not a 2nd glass (probably labeled "YOU"?) to complete the set. Who cares -- they're way-cool enough anyway, with that most unique 'art-deco' (?) font to 'em...I fell in love with 'em instantly??!! :-) :-) :-)
Both pieces are fully 'frosted' on their exterior before the decoration. The chrome plated brass (?) lid is complete with its screw on cap, though it does have two small cracks in its edge, something I've noticed is a common characteristic of many similar old cocktail shakers of the era. (something about the way those things were made then, I guess?) And speaking of its age, I don't have any actual idea of that either but will guess it's 1950's vintage or so simply because of its style. The shaker glass itself does have a Hazel Atlas 'A under an H' logo on its bottom but nothing on the little glass -- if anybody can offer a clue to suggest anything else about the set I'd be most grateful for the info!! <smile>
Ultra cool retro barware, nice find
the 'H' over 'A' logo is for Hazel-Atlas. This has a great art deco appeal.
Oh THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU TallCakes for that correction, already fixed in my description!! <eeek><blush> What a newbie-to-glass mistake -- I've never claimed to be anybody's expert, and hopefully won't make that error again! :-)
Thanks also to Newfld for your kind comment, and dlpeterson, fortapache, Thedecoguy, kwqd, Brunswick, Vynil33rpm,& aura for leaving the <love it>s!!

I love these !!!
