This is a 1930s–1940s vintage \"Beer Foam ScraperHolder\" (or frother holder) branded for the Jacob Ruppert Brewery of NewYork City.

While often misidentified by modern collectors as a bottleor cup holder, its actual purpose was a countertop bar display used bybartenders to store reusable plastic or wooden flat sticks(\"scrapers\").

These scrapers leveled off excess foam on freshly poureddraft beers.

5) Shipping is expensive.

You can pick your item up with NO SHIPPING costs at my home 50 miles north of Boston with advanced notice.

The concept of \"free shipping\" is one of the 3 biggest lies.

We are the best packers on , and pack YOUR item the way we\'d like to receive it-if it was being sent to us.

We take extra care in packaging, (Bubble wrap, foam pellets, proper boxes, etc.)(NOT the wadded up newspaper trick) There is a cost for doing this right.

Our goal is to get it to you in good shape, and for you to not have to file those fruitless shipping claims.

Let\'s face it, once it\'s broke, it\'s broke.

We have lost a significant amount of money in packaging costs over the past 25 years, and will continue to do so to get it to you in one piece.

6) YOU & US: Note that the majority of what we sell is antique, vintage, and/or collectable electronics.

For liability purposes, Radioorphanage / Bruce Phillips accept NO responsibility for how the buyer uses or misuse of the items.

We see you as a valued customer, and want you to be happy.

Buy with confidence, as we are in this for the long haul- not for a quick buck.

If you are not happy, for any reason, let us know and we\'ll try to make it right.
