Vintage Bar-Host Automatic Liquor Pourer with Original Box
A classic piece of mid-century barware, this vintage Bar-Host automatic liquor pourer was designed to dispense one measured jigger with each pour.

The original instruction sheet is still included. The box advertises the Bar-Host as an automatic liquor pourer that measures one jigger at a time and was sold with a lifetime guarantee.
