About the Item

An exceptional and highly collectible antique Art Deco sterling silver single jigger, masterfully crafted by the renowned American silversmith John Hasselbring in Brooklyn, New York, circa 1920s. Seen beautifully in all images, this fine barware tool epitomizes the rustic elegance of early 20th-century high-society hunting and lodge lifestyle accessories. The piece features a single measuring cup connected to a rugged, beautifully textured genuine deer antler handle. The handle is expertly finished at both ends with high-quality sterling silver hardware, including a protective polished end cap. This authentic bar tool is clearly hallmarked on the silver collar with Hasselbring's coveted signature marks: the "JH" maker's stamp, the explicit "STERLING" purity mark, and the specific design model number "40". Offered in excellent antique condition with age-appropriate surface wear and a rich, natural patina, this heavy, hand-crafted piece serves as a stunning, functional addition to a luxury mid-century bar cart or a sophisticated gift for the vintage mixology connoisseur. Operating out of Brooklyn, New York during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, John Hasselbring established an elite reputation as one of America's premier silversmiths specializing in luxury barware, smoking accessories, and carving sets. Hasselbring's workshop became famous for its sophisticated marriage of precious metals with organic, natural materials—most notably stag horn, boar tusks, and deer antlers. This distinctive style perfectly captured the aesthetic of wealthy Gilded Age and Art Deco-era sportsmen, who frequented elite country clubs, hunting lodges, and private gentleman's bars. very piece of Hasselbring silver was individually hand-crafted, giving each item a distinct, heavy heft and an elite level of material precision. The firm's barware—ranging from antler-handled corkscrews and bottle openers to their iconic double jiggers—was engineered to withstand decades of use while serving as permanent conversation pieces. Today, authentic pieces bearing the "JH" stamp are highly prized by collectors of antique barware, celebrated for bringing an element of rugged, historical masculinity to modern interior decor and high-end entertainment spaces.
