Silver plate and glass recipe cocktail shaker, with integral strainer, named "The Barman". Made in France by Ghiso, in the 1930's, for export to Argentina during prohibition.
The removable glass liner has English cocktail titles and recipes in Spanish etched into it and etched around the middle is the statement, 'Mezclar con cuchara los cocktails de arriba - sacudir los de abajo - para todos anadia hielo.' This translates as "Mix the top cocktails with a spoon - shake the bottom ones - add ice for everyone."
This refers to the top and bottom windows on the sides of the shaker which each show the recipes for 12 different cocktails (24 in total) that can be viewed as you turn the glass liner. The shaker also comes with a spoon to correctly mix those cocktails that should be stirred.
