This cocktail shaker is in stunning condition, it looks like it was used for decoration not making martinis. I tested the black Bakelite by running hot water over it and there was a strong Phenolic Resin odor. The chrome is clean and shiny, I had to cover it with posterboard when taking pictures so it wouldn't show me and my cluttered office from the mirror like surface. The lid comes off with ease as does the spout cover. It weighs 1.12 pounds as it sits. Thanks for looking and check out the other cool shakers I have listed.
