Vintage Barware Catalog

Wednesday April 26, 2006
The business of bartending has changed dramatically over the years but many of the tools have remained the same. The wonderful people at the Museum of the American Cocktail have come across an original catalog of bar tools that were sold by the Albert Pick company. This catalog dates to the days right before Prohibition and the museum's online exhibition is a step back in time that gives us a glimpse into the style behind the bars of the time. The pages from the catalog include The Sanitary Shaker (whose basic design is still used today), a great selection of glass bitter bottles and classy bartender clothing.
