Unknown Fire Extinguisher Cocktail Shaker
Ruby shaker has recipes for cocktail imprinted in white. Looks like the strainer is silver plate while the top is chrome. BOTTOM diameter of 3-3/4". Circumference is right at 12" . 10-1/2" to the top of the chrome lip. The fraction following the 10 in the height diagram is a single digit over a double digit. So no taller than 10 - 9/16. There is no way of knowing if the reference is with or without the chrome piece around the neck. 52 ounces plum full to heaping. With cap off, it weighs 1 lb. 11.6 ounces.With cap off, it weighs 1 lb. 11.6 ounces.

The shaker's dimensions are close to those measured off a drawing of a ruby "Thirst Extinguisher" in Domitz, Encyclopedia of Paden City Glass, p. 333. The photograph of this item shows different words on the shaker. A Paden City expert member on the Forum did not think there was sufficient documentation to identify Paden City as the maker of this shaker.
