Upcycled Steampunk Mini Bars

This 1920s Light Bulb Tester Has Been Repurposed as a Mini Bar

If you had a German light bulb tester from the 1920s, what exactly would you do with it? Sell it? Send it to a museum?

The owner of this old-fashioned light bulb tester has figured out a perfect new occupation for his/her antique object: a mini bar. Adding some Stemware shelves, wine bottle storage, and a cooling apparatus, this tester's owner transformed their useless antique furniture piece into a fully functioning mini bar.

This upcycled product has garnered so much attention since its initial release, that the original creator has begun re-creating the light bulb tester to put forth more mini bars.
