Up for auction is this beautiful 1930's Hawkes crystal and sterling martini shaker! This is the real deal. This piece is in amazing condition for it's age! No scratches or dents visible to the naked eye except for normal wear on bottom! 10" tall and 4" at shoulder. This was an inheritance from a martini drinker who never used it and I am not a martini drinker (mostly haha). Someone who is will appreciate the beauty and tradition of this wonderful piece! This shaker is quite rare as I h...ave only seen 1 duplicate on ebay. It has an engraved duck in flight over cattails and some other ornamental engravings. The strainer, cap and rim of the shaker are sterling silver and are marked. The bottom of the crystal shaker has the Hawkes watermark but the photos don't pick it up. Hard to see with the naked eye but it is there, guaranteed! I have polished the silver since the photos were taken. I know some people prefer the patina, but this has been polished before so I saw no reason not to. This same shaker sold for $950.00! Mine is in much better condition! Don't take my word, look it up on ebay sold listings! Good luck and thanks for looking. Please check out my other items! I only accept returns if the item is not as I have described and in same condition as shipped! Please look at all pictures before you bid! Buyer pays for shipping and insurance. Please wait for invoice before paying as I will add insurance cost based on final sale price. Thanks!
