The new Speakeasy Specials, led by the Boston Lighthouse Shaker, all offer surprising and unusual shapes. Decorative designs that differed from the classic shaker shape were fashionable to make them less easily recognized by the police. All of this happened in the 1920s, when Congress voted for prohibition and the U.S. became "dry." Illegal bars called speakeasies came in many varieties. All shakers are made of highly silver-plated brass and are approved for food safety. Colour: silver-coloured, polished Material: brass, nickel- and silver-plated Dimensions: LxWxH: 10.5 x 10.5 x 35.5 cm
