Moderator Stephen Visakay, cocktail shaker scholar and author of Vintage Bar Ware (Collector Books) will cover the history of the cocktail shaker from the 1800’s to the rise of cocktail culture today, how to still find vintage bar ware at bargain prices, the care and cleaning of vintage bar ware, swizzle sticks and collecting obsessions; why we collect. There will be a free drawing for five hundred dollars worth of vintage bar ware.
*Symposium originally referred to a drinking party taking the form of a series of speeches, both satirical and serious dating back to Plato in 385 B.C. The Greek verb sympotein means “to drink together” and we will be doing that as well as shaking drinks! Please bring your favorite cocktail shaker, vintage bar ware items and swizzle sticks for display and discussion.

Crazy for Cocktail Shakers
I buy, sell and trade Vintage Cocktail Shakers and Barware! 

What do you have? Napier, Revere, Chase?

My name is Mark Bigler and I've been collecting bar paraphernalia 

for some time now in anticipation of my small basement bar that I was intent 

on having built a few years ago.   I was given a cocktail shaker quite a few 

years ago for Christmas and I loved it,  I saw an older glass shaker with a brass 

top in an antique store here in Ogden, Utah and bought it immediately.   Well 

now since I had two,  I guess that amounts to a collection and the search was on. 

I then ran across a magazine article by Stephen Visakay and I was hooked! 

Years ago my little bar was finally built and of course I had to have more.  

Only a few of my shakers fit on my bar and  I'm displaying them all over the house 

thanks to my patient and understanding wife.   I would love to hear how you 

display yours and any more fun things about your collection.  

Trades?

If you have some duplicates that you would like to trade,  I do too!!!
