Copper Still - Artifacts

Description
Copper Still. A large copper cylinder soldered together along a vertical seam. 2 rectangular handles are attached by rivets to either side near the lipped top edge. Soldered inside is a metal cone. It is attached halfway up and extends up about 7". There is a spigot with daisy type turning handle. It drains the area above the soldered cone. Around the bottom of the cylinder is a corrugated skirt. It is slightly smaller diameter than the copper cylinder. Where the skirt and cylinder meet is a thin copper ledge around the cylinder. Two inches above the bottom of the cylinder and inside is a soldered shelf which angles up. It is 3" wide. A small pipe extends out of the back of the cylinder and it drains the condensation from around the shelf.
