Airplane Traveling Bar

Sandy Berman, New York
Acquired from the above by the present owner

Overall very good condition. The surfaces with a few shallow surface scratches and minute abrasions consistent with age and gentle use. The shaker with two minor dents and some tarnishing and light wear to the fastening point of the proper right wing flask. One fastening fin with a very shallow bend which has been professionally corrected. The wing flasks with some wear along the area where the flasks join to the airplane, only visible when the flasks are removed and not at all visually distracting. The interior flask cap does not screw completely flush. The piece is accompanied by a leather carrying case, likely original, which is in good condition with some scattered minor scuffs, abrasions, areas of wear, some tears near the metal fasteners, light surface scratches to the fasteners, and some scratches to the interior consistent with age and use. Please see below the detailed marks on each piece: cocktail shaker impressed MADE IN GERMANY on the fin and MADE IN GERMANY D.R.G.M. on propeller strainer impressed D.R.G.M./894384/MADE IN GERMANY wheel well with producer's mark and impressed D.G.R.M./GERMANY corkscrew impressed MADE IN GERMANY
