Gary,
Stills during prohibition were made, not manufactured, as far I know of. My
great grandfather had one. If you can send me the pictures of the parts you
have, I can tell you how to put it back together again for a display. I
would also check with the state. I believe it is illegal to have one unless
you have a hole in the bottom of it so it can't be used. These laws may
have changed, I'm not sure.

Subject: Help
Our local historical society just acquired a Prohibition era still. Two
problems: 1) it is completely disassembled; and 2) I have no idea as how to
reassemble it. I do have one advantage. It was not workshop built but was
purchased someplace. I can find nothing to indicate the manufacturer. I am
open to any suggestions as to where to start in my quest.
