The hole measures 1 1/4 inches in diameter. The jar is marked “Rosenthal Bavaria” and “Handpainted” and each piece is numbered. It looks like a serving piece of some kind, but I cannot fathom what the purpose of the hole in the bottom is. Can you help? http://www.kovels.com/issues/antiques_collectibles/35_2/collectors_gallery/2940-1.html?CMP=OTC-RSS Q: Could you help me identify my battery-operated bartender toy?

It was given to me by a friend who had it for maybe 25 or more years. One side of the bowl reads “Central States Mfg. Co., St. Louis, Mo.” The other side says “Speedo” and “Super Juicer, Made in USA.” Can you tell me anything about it and if it’s worth anything? http://www.kovels.com/issues/antiques_collectibles/35_2/collectors_gallery/2941-1.html?CMP=OTC-RSS Q: I bought this at a flea market.
