I have never seen one but the Hannis name is a well recognized one for whiskey.

Marc: Your unopened bottle may well be of interest to a collector and have significant ($100 plus) value. Problem is that it is not legal to send such through the mails. UPS would be OK. Am not sure how you would advertise such a sale or where.

I c...Dear Unknown: Thanks for your kind comments. I cannot know for sure but believe that this copper jug was given to saloons and restaurants. It sat on the bar and contained water or sometimes room temp. tea. Patrons could then cut their whiskey with the contents while providing advertising for the brand of liquor. There are dozens of examples of these metal jugs from various distilleries and liquor outfits. If you email me a photo of it at jack.sullivan9@verizon.net I should be able to confirm this analysis.
