The bottom is stamped with an earlier Michelsen hallmark, Danish silver marks, and Jensen’s designer mark.

An elegant sterling silver rollover jigger in Tiffany & Co.’s classic modernist “Cordis” pattern.

A carved horn cocktail pick set in the form of a flying bird that looks rather like an albatross. The bird has inset glass eyes.
