I found this little guy hiding behind some old silver plate at Salvation Army this morning. Love the "art deco" style and recognized the Napier design. These were very popular and graced any well organized 30's bar. Unfortunately they have been copied to death over the years since first being introduced by Napier in the 1930's. Originals in silver and plate cost up to several hundred dollars today if you can find one. Restoration Hardware made some modern ones but they are well marked on the bottom and say"Restoration Hardware" Made in India. My little guy carries no marks anywhere. So maybe this one is from a different maker. It's quite heavy stainless steel and stands 10.5" Various sites show these unmarked ones as 50s' to 70's vintage. -Mike-
