Took a little while and some digging through the Internet, to find out that this is a "gorham" artillary shell cocktail shaker.
Made after WW1, during the 20's. This is one of the shakers in the book "Vintage Barware" by Stephen Visakay. I will be doing my best to find a copy of this book, as it is currently out of print.
I did find a website http://thejazzage.com/items.asp?grp=2 offering one of these for sale, in much worse condition, and missing the lower glasses and rack, for $700.00 US. I guess that means my $85 Canadian was well spent!
Baby - you rock! with my help of course ~wink~, a real find for sure. To think someone actually told us we should bypass this particular antique mall!
Stephen Visakay, has written the book on Vintage Bar Ware, Literally! In his book which I was lucky enough to aquire a copy of recently, this shaker missing the 4 glasses was valued at $1500-$1800 USD.
