Antique Oak Wooden Barrel Noyes Brothers & Cutler, MN Druggists

  A primitive oak early drug store barrel or keg that came from a  Howard Lake Minnesota Drug Store. Stamped on bottom. Found in an early century building where the Pharmacy had closed.

Some history "Noyes Brothers and Cutler, importers and wholesale druggists, moved into their new five story building at Sixth and Sibley in 1886.
Pharmacists mixed medicines in the laboratories on their upper floors while clerks on the ground floor filled orders from new drug stores as far away as Montana."

This is as found condition which shows normal wear and soiling due to age. Some surface rust on bands. For the most part very clean. No lid. There is a small round hole at the base where presumably there was a spigot.

This will make a wonderful decorating item especially in the autumn season or holidays. A good decorating piece for porch, store front, home bar or craft project.

It measures approx. 27.5" tall x 19" widest x 15.5" at the opening
