20th century revolving drinks dispenser??

Hello,

I brought this item recently at auction, its obviously a drinks dispenser of some description however does anybody know how old or possibly who made it?

It seems to have some wear and age that would suggest to me that it is not a modern item, perhaps mid 20th century?

Thanks
Matt

 

Possibly as early as the 20s or as late as the 50s. I think it is probably a liquor decanter. I've not seen this before. No marks?

 

COOL!
Please go back and use the FULL IMAGE option and always do so.
Thank you!

 

I think Brad is correct,20s-30s. Its so very cool!

 

Nope no marks unfortunately and i can find any others like it either

 

it's neat !

 

Anybody got any idea of value? Condition is a little bit rough but it should clean up ok

 

Value may depend on how clean you can get that glass. I think this is easily a $100.00 item or more if you can get it clean and the seals are good.

For example, this is not as rare nor desirable as your set (IMHO) and sold for $100.00 on ebay.

I think it is liqueur dispenser for Creme de Menthe, Creme de Cocoa and what? Triple Sec?

Art Deco for sure. Black enamel paint looks similar in style to Chase Chrome. Doesn't really fit the style of Krome Kraft.

 

This rings a bell. I think, if I remember, they're French and used for three different flavours of a related liqueur.

 

Great stuff, thanks everyone. I'm glad I asked now!

 

This really adds nothing to the information but at least it's a similar item.

SIS, it's certainly along the same lines as the one Matthew posted.

I hate to be stupid, but how exactly do these things work? The ones with upside-down bottles, I can understand, but with the spigots on the bottom & the bottle openings at the top, how does the liquid come out?

 

you have to see the bottom of one of the flasks..

Good job SIS...the base is damn near identical !!

 

The spigots are part of the bottles on this example.

 

Ahhh... Okay! Thanks, SIS!

 

Try putting hot water in each bottle and dropping in denture cleaning tablets. Let them sit overnight and clean them out. If you are lucky the cloudiness will go away. If not the glass may be permanently etched, it's called "sick glass"

 

Thanks, I'll have a go and see how it cleans up

 

Thats almost identical to mine, just in worse condition!
Well done on finding that
