Item Description
1.75" tall with high relief keg at the top accented by small spout at right. Back of the piece is a flat metal plate. Below the keg is a circular area with stamped in title of the device. Lower edge has small notch which is pushed to turn the interior brass wheel. At the top of the dial is a cut-out and within the window the disk revolves to show the numbers 1-2-3-4 followed by the word in the fifth position "Soused." Some luster loss but majority remains. First example we've seen. Early 1900s.
