Unusual Meridian & Co. Cocktail Shaker

Unusual Shaker. Meridian & Co patented 1927 13 1/2 ” T. Very unusual piece with Bakelite base and top. All the markings clear on the bottom. Condition is good, some slight scratching and wear to the chrome and the other curious thing about this highly collectible shaker is the Bakelite colors do not match, the top is a dark traditional green and the bottom has some blue/green. I’ve never seen the shape before. Who knows?
