Looking for binoculars that double as a flask? This auction has you covered.
in the 1920s, an upcoming auction from Sotheby’s will offer the chance to own a piece of American history.”—set to take place from May 7 to 21—will feature “vintage barware and fine silver created during and inspired by the era,” according to Sotheby’s. The collection was curated by Alan Bedwell, who owns the vintage accessories gallery“America experienced a great surge of interest in novelty barware towards the end of Prohibition and the years following it,” Bedwell explains.
Also for sale, in true Prohibition fashion, is a set of cut-class decanters that are literally protected by lock and key . And, a must for anyone trying to conceal their drinking, Sotheby’s is also selling a double flask from the 1930s that is disguised as a real pair of aluminum binoculars. “The caps of the ‘ocular lenses’ can be twisted off and filled with a spirit and/or mixer while the ‘objective lenses’ on the opposite side contain two removable cups,” the auction house explains.
