LINCOLN COUNTY, TENNESSEE MERCHANT'S STONEWARE MINIATURE SCRATCH ADVERTISING JUG, Albany-slip glazed, beehive form with applied handle, incised script across the front reading "Old Confederate Whiskey / Scott & McGehee / Fayetteville / Tenn". Late 19th/early 20th century. 3 1/8" H.
Catalogue Note: Lincoln County, TN has a history steeped in whiskey, well-known as the location of an early Tennessee whiskey distillery used by Jack Daniels. This factoid contributed to the naming of the "Lincoln County Process", a charcoal-filtering process used in the distilling of whiskey, a process so intertwined with distilling in the state that in modern times, its usage is a legal requirement for companies marketing their product as a "Tennessee whiskey".
Not much is known about the present jug and no specific mentions of an "Old Confederate Whiskey" brand could be located, but the merchant name and location points to the possible involvement of an Ernest Sanders McGehee (1886-1955), who operated a grocery store in the town of Mulberry, a few short miles outside of Fayetteville. He was listed in the 1910 census as a "Salesman" at a grocery and dry goods store, and would start into business on his own account sometime later. The "Scott" in this apparent partnership is unidentified.

Condition

Fair condition with a few pops to glaze, a large chip to mouth, and a 1/2" section of handle broken off and glued.
