Darling Binkie, that is what cocktail cabinets are for. Utterly no point having a cocktail cabinet that only contains scotch, vodka & a bottle of cordial.

Darling "Eagle Eye" Lolly,..... mental note..... "Not to post photographs of ones bookcase"

 

[PADDY]

That's more like it FG...

Nothing as nice as a fully stocked Cocktail cabinet - love the lighting in it too!!

Oooooo, Plymouth Gin and Maraschino...what on earth could be made with that ? And you are a Maker's Mark man!! yay!

A great find, and just a nice size too.:eusa_clap

PS: Love the multi-coloured accupuncture set that comes with it as an alternative therapy to hangovers!! haha.

I'm trying to date it, and most of the Rivington bars that I have found on the net have been 30s/40s. Does anyone wager a guess because really I have no idea.

FG.

Nice find! :eusa_clap
I'd guess 1950s from the light diffuser and the style of the name plate.

Have you looked into re-wiring the light?

 

[FedoraGent]

I already did...

I already did. The light works and was just not plugged in when I did my pictures.

Yup, agreed, looks 50s to me. Great fun, and I love the idea of a monthy cocktail party. Tres chic!

I have my Great Grandfather's 30s/40s cocktail cabinet back in NZ. My brother currently is 'looking after it' for me. He'd better be or there'll be trouble!

We may be buying a house soon so I'll have to start looking for one to park up there.

I must buy more booze!

You may not have all the bar gizmos but you obviously have the important stuff!

Ooh, That's right! I need to get some gum for my cigarette case. Thanks for the reminder.

The glass details are very atomic.

Id bank mid to late 50s

[Lincsong]

Excellent find. Very '30s.:eusa_clap

FedoraGent, you are right in saying that your aviation bar is "properly populated"--I see Plymouth gin there! Nothing better for a gin and tonic. And hard to come by in my parts.

 

[FedoraGent]

I do...

I do have alll the 'bar gizmos' they just aren't in this shot.

FG.

 

[FedoraGent]

Selections that are needed still...

FedoraGent, you are right in saying that your aviation bar is "properly populated"--I see Plymouth gin there! Nothing better for a gin and tonic. And hard to come by in my parts.

As I find myself to be a Cocktailian, I figure that there are a couple of things that I am still needing.

1. Herbsaint
2. Creme de Cassis
3. Curacao
4. Anisette
5. Benedictine
6. Brandy
7. Old Tom

FG.

P.S. I'm also going to experiment with making my own Creme de Violette.

 

[Absinthe_1900]

There will be a second variety of Herbsaint for your cabinet later this year...

I found this somewhat similar one on the net. I am a teetotaler but nice piece of vintage.

 

[FedoraGent]

Funny you should mention that...

Funny you should mention that...and that is what I was waiting for. There will be a preview of coming attractions at "Tales of the Cocktail" in New Orleans. And I just might be there.

FG.

 

[Absinthe_1900]

There should be something to show at Tales, vintage, current, and new.
