Presidential Rye Whiskey Clock
Here is a Presidential Rye Whiskey Clock from the E. De. Lue & Company Distillery located in Chicago, IL. This pre-prohibition era Rye Whiskey Clock is from between 1896 to 1918 and is in excellent condition considering how old it is. This clock is easily over 100 years old and is't amazing that it still operates and keeps accurate time too.
It's approximately 12" by 10" by 5" and is made of cast iron with a winding mechanical clock at the top. The cast text on the clock body reads "Presidential Pure Rye Malt" across the top and "The Best Medicinal Whiskey In America" across the bottom with the "E. De. Lue & Co. Chicago Sole Prop's" across the base. A Cast Iron Clock like this would have originally been displayed on a back bar display or general store countertop to advertise Presidential Medicinal Whiskey to patrons.
Birkenstock Brewers Lunch Pail
Here is a Birkenstock Brewers Lunch Pail from the John Birkenstock, Sunrise & Sunset Brewing Company located in Allentown, PA. This pre-prohibition era Birkenstock Brewers Lunch Pail is from between 1890 and 1898 and is in excellent condition considering how old it is.
It is about the size of a standard lunch kettle and is made of tin with an embossed lid. The Embossing on the lid reads “Compliments of John Birkenstock Brewer & Bottler Allentown, PA”.
Lunch pails like this one were basically the working man’s lunch kettle from back in the day and would have also served as a beer growler to transport beer back home; click here to check out my blog article about the Evolution of the Beer Growler from what was once just a lunch pail for the working class.
