A magical figural cocktail picks set from the 1930s. While we believe this set to be by Harris Dunn, it does not bare the hallmark. We suspect this was one of the earliest sets that was created by Harris Dunn before the company got their Patent Number. This spectacular set is made up of a wood bar with a chrome top and rail holding 6 picks (5 Bakelite bottles, and 1 metal cocktail shaker). This set also comes with its original miniature "recipe" booklet (a rarity as the booklet is often lost over the years). This set is nothing short of magical.
Hallmarks: "Patent Pend. Made In U.S.A." can be found on the back of the pick set
Condition: Very good condition for a set that's 90+ years old with mild signs of age. We like to be thorough, so here's a full Conditions Summary:
1) The chrome shows mild "age"
2) The stems of the picks are all straight and in great shape
3) The bottle finials are in good shape but two of the "labels" show wear (see photos)
4) The wood stand is in great shape overall but does have one tiny manufacturing occurrence right at the base (it's completely smooth and could simply be a pattern in the wood, see photo #5)
In short, this set is in good shape but does show mild signs of age. Truly a magical set. Cheers.
Measurements: Approx 5" wide and about 4 1/4" tall, including the bottles and shaker. Approx 1" wide.
