Hmmm, well I just woke up from a 5 month nap of sorts - I have had lots of stuff happening lately that seems to have made blogging a low priority. But one of my new years resolution was to get back on the blog horse, so here goes...
I found this hand hammered sterling silver 2 ounce jigger at a recent farm auction hidden in a box of random stuff I managed to catch for $1.00. It's made by Andrew Russell (1904-1983), from 1965, out of Toronto. Russell was born in Germany, and moved to Canada at 22. He learned his craft in Toronto night schools and later taught jewelery making in night classes.
I love that the arms on this are crooked, but they get a bit in the way when I have been mixing drinks with it. It looks great on the bar though!
