Antique 1882 MOONSHINE Whiskey STILL Civil War Bar Distillery Elmira NY Van Horn

  

Antique 1882 MOONSHINE Whiskey STILL Liquor Civil War Bar Distillery Brewer Elmira NY Van Horn. Thank You for Shopping In the USA! An ornate original antique document dated 1882 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 was signed by Revenue Collector, Van Horn of Elmira, NY. This document has beautiful graphics on a pretty shade of yellow paper; 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! To prevent forgeries the govt watermarked, "USIR", which can be seen when held to the light. There are four hole punches (to void), a couple small spots, light bends and two tack holes, otherwise, condition is excellent! This is a FANTASTIC piece of history and would be great to display in a brewery, pharmacy, bar, distillery, museum or office! As always, many thanks to my regular customers for your continued patronage!
