   These kind of noisemakers were made to promote African American nightclubs in the 30s, 40s and 50s. They may have made them for other kind of clubs but these are all I collect. You can see a couple more of mine scattered throughout this post: https://www.alleewillis.com/awmok/kitschenette/2011/02/02/allee-willis-kitsch-o-the-day-vintage-harlem-nightclub-shaker-and-my-weekend-at-vitellos/

   I am obsessed with these!

   They also used these in NY drag clubs in the 30’s and 40’s.
