Although the pails are shotglasses, this is probably of more interest to a collector of decanters than to the average shotglass collector.
There are many decanter designs where there is a pump involved -- then you do not have to pick it up to dispense the liquid, you just pump the liquid out. Most of them are from the 50's-60's.
I have never seen one like this, but from the looks of it, it might be a "one of a kind" -- somebody with metalworking skills decided to make
something fun.

: Hi, my cousin recently bought what we would call a shot set I think, we really dont know what it is so we came here in hopes someone qould now, heres the decription, it looks sort of like a silver plated stein with a jar that fits inside, the jar has a cork top with a hole in it, and a little pump sticks out the top of the whole thing, there are 5 little brass type shotglasses that look like little pails and they hang around the outside of the stien part, the pump has a little lip on it to hang the pail while you use the pump. If you have any idea what this thing is can you please tell us!! Ill post a picture soon, thanks
