Know before you buy
While this is a highly collectible vintage piece, it is fully functional as a cobbler shaker. Because it is crafted from solid sterling silver, you should handle it with care and hand wash it immediately after use to maintain its finish.
The three-piece design is a classic cobbler-style configuration, consisting of the main body, a built-in strainer, and a cap. It allows you to shake and strain your cocktail directly from the vessel without needing additional bar tools.
The cap is designed to fit securely to prevent spills during the shaking process. The attached chain is a practical feature that ensures the cap remains connected to the shaker, preventing it from being misplaced during busy cocktail preparation.
To preserve the integrity of the silver, use a high-quality, non-abrasive silver polish and a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid using the dishwasher, as the heat and harsh detergents can damage the metal and the patina developed over the last century.
This shaker features the official Webster Co. hallmark, which is the standard indicator for authentic pieces produced by this American silversmith. These marks are typically found on the base and serve as proof of its origin and material composition.
