Napier One-Finger and Two-Fingers Jiggers Pair
type: Product
description: A lovely pair of vintage Napier One-Finger and Two-Fingers. Well-crafted these jiggers have a solid feel to them. The "two-fingers" indicates "2 ounces"; the "one finger" indicates 1 Ounce. Each jigger also has the Ounces marker etched into it, for a precise measurement. Napier started making this particular jigger in the 40s and continued this design through the late 50s. See last photo for the original newspaper advertisement (please note: the ad does not come with the listing, it's purely for reference). We recently sold a pair of these vintage jiggers and this is our last pair. Cheers. A quick bit of history on Napier: The Napier Company was named after its president, James H.

The firm changed hands and name in 1882 and became Carpenter and Bliss and shortly thereafter, E.A. Bliss and Co., Inc. After rapid expansion in the late 1880s the company moved to Meriden, CT in 1890. After WWI, the firm shifted emphasis from silver products to production of modern jewelry. James Napier became president in 1920 and the company adopted the name Napier - Bliss Co. In 1922, the name was changed to Napier Company. Like many jewelry companies Napier got into lines of art objects and other utilitarian objects like cocktail shakers. In the early to mid 1930s they started producing several cocktail shakers (most notably the "Dial a Drink shaker" and the Rooster motif shaker) other pieces of barware including their well-known graduated/stepped jigger, the mechanical/valve jigger, and their one-finger and two-finger jiggers. Condition: Very good vintage condition. These jiggers have a tiny bit of patina, which adds to their magical factor but appear to have not been used much. Hallmarks: "Napier" is stamped on the bottom of each jigger Measurements: The two-finger jigger is just over 2 1/4" t…
