A silver grater for your next drink
In the eighteenth century, men carried pocket-sized silver containers fitted with nutmeg graters. They could add freshly grated spice to punch. The container held both the ingredient and the tool for a finishing touch to a drink.
A pocket could carry its own bit of bar equipment.
