I gave it a good polishing but didn't get 100% of the tarnish but certainly enough to reveal that it's piece of art! I've attached a a picture of a VERY similar item at far more than I'm asking. This was credited to the La Pierre for its design. In very good condition but it is missing the silver covered "stopper": It's easy to find a replacement but I realize it devalues it.
There is some scratching over the word whiskey.
