A lovely 1939 "Wonder Bar" Wood Bakelite Cocktail Picks / Holder set. This spectacular cocktail pick set features a mini "bar" (that's covered in a faux black leather material that's embossed with an alligator pattern) with chrome top and rail holding 6 picks (4 Bakelite bottles, 1 "coupe" glass, and 1 metal cocktail shaker) along with a mini cocktail booklet that contains vintage cocktail recipes. This miniature cocktail set is nothing short of spectacular and has a magical feel to it.
Maker/era: Harris Dunn "Wonder Bar", New York: Harris Dunn Corp. [1939]
Hallmarks: "Harris Dunn Corp. Pat. No. 116459 Made In U.S.A." can be found on the back of the pick set
Condition: Very good vintage condition for a set that's 80 years old. We're pretty Type A about the exact condition of our vintage items, so here's a full summary:
- The booklet has quiet a bit of wear/age including a portion of the front page missing and yellowing/staining from age (see photos #1 and #2)
- The mini bar (which is covered in a faux black leather material that's embossed with an alligator pattern) is in good condition overall but does show signs of wear (one very small spot in particular on the side/edge)
- The picks are in good condition overall but do show signs of age/wear including some of the picks have tarnish (that will likely not polish up), see photos #5 and #6. Two of the "bottles" are missing their labels. Also note: some of the picks are slightly longer than others (see photos #6.)
- The chrome accent is in good condition overall but does show some mild age/wear in a few places. See photos fo reference.
Overall, this set is in good vintage condition and truly a magical one.
Measurements: Approx 5" wide and about 4 1/4" tall, including the bottles and shaker. Approx 1" wide.
