Antique 1879 MOONSHINE Whiskey STILL Civil War Bar Distillery Brewer Malone NY. Thank You for Shopping In the USA!
An original ornate document dated 1879 for the Business of Retail Liquor Dealer issued by the US Internal Revenue... "Severe Penalties are imposed for neglect or refusal to place and keep this stamp conspicuously in your establishment or place of business"! This document was signed by the District Collector, J. This document has beautiful graphics, engraved on the top center is the Greek God, Mercury, with the medical symbol (snake & staff) in hand, leaning on a large woven wicker, glass bottle, sitting next to wooden kegs, a moonshine still, along with a funnel lying on the ground! The front measures 8" by 7", the coupons are folded behind, so actual length is 14.The document has only three hole punches (to void), two tack holes, a few small spots and tear on the right border, otherwise, condition is excellent... This is a FANTASTIC piece of history and would be wonderful to display in a pharmacy, doctor's office, museum, bar or office! As always, many thanks to my regular customers for your continued patronage!
