Lot number: 074-5010

Winning bid: £60

Dipping Dogs were once used by distillery workers to “liberate” whisky from casks in the warehouse. Made from copper tubing and tied to the belt, it was stored down the worker’s trouser leg. The dog was then dipped into casks and filled with whisky when the Exciseman’s back was turned.

This Copper Dog branded set includes some small cups and tumblers.

Please examine all images of the lot, any packaging and labels carefully and satisfy yourself as to their condition before making a bid.
