Can anyone tell me what this is?
I bought this at a garage sale today. The lady told me it was an antique “jigger”. After googling that, it doesn’t seem to be the right word to describe the little thing. It’s a metal owl, and inside there are 4 metal shot glasses. At least that’s what they seem like to me. Does anyone know what this really is?

It’s a jigger. You take your drinking vessels out of the owl. Put ingredients in the owl for a drink, top it with the lid (the owl head), holding the head on tightly, shake the drink up and pour into cups to share.
