American Sterling Silver 3 Pint Cocktail Shaker C.1945 by Tuttle

1920 - 1940
For Sale by Puckerings
Description

An absolutely stunning huge cocktail shaker in American sterling silver by the Boston silversmith, Tuttle.

This towering example towers 14" tall with a diameter measuring 4 1/2" and weighing in at 36.70 Troy ounces or 1141.4 Grams, over a kilo of sterling silver!

The underside is fully marked "Sterling" and "3 Pints".

During the term of office of President Calvin Coolidge, Tuttle adopted the custom of marking each piece with a crescent and the initials of the incumbent President of the United States.

The Roman numeral under the crescent indicates on what year of the presidency the piece was produced.

The mark is completed by the pine tree, a patriotic symbol taken from the ancient Pine Tree Shilling of Massachusetts colony.

This piece is marked HT for Harry Truman and the Roman numeral I underneath for the year 1945.

A true stunner in excellent condition, minor interior wear commensurate with age.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Mid-20th century cocktail shakers frequently combine geometric Art Deco silhouettes with clean, modern lines. Crafted from solid sterling silver, they feature fitted caps, built-in strainers, and stepped or pedestal bases.

High-grade cocktail shakers were predominantly forged from sterling silver, silver plate, or nickel-plated brass. Sterling silver examples are stamped with purity hallmarks and makers marks indicating their origin and composition.

Authenticity is verified by official hallmarks stamped on the base or body, such as Sterling or .925, alongside recognised maker marks. Authentic pieces exhibit balanced weight, precise fit across removable sections, and seamless joinery.

Position the shaker on a polished tray atop a sideboard, bar cart, or drinks cabinet alongside crystal glassware. Pairing metallic surfaces with dark woodwork creates a refined accent in dining or living areas.

Clean gently using a soft cloth and specialised non-abrasive silver polish to prevent scratching. Store in a low-humidity environment or tarnish-inhibiting cloth bag to minimise natural oxidisation over time.
