This actually is a manufactured still. Interestingly, it was fired by
kerosene instead of wood. A couple of fellows got together this morning
and have sort of an idea how some parts go together. It is made out of
galvanized metal and has rusted a lot. Once we get some of it together
I will put a picture on the Net and hopefully someone will recognize it.
Thanks for the response. Gary Kunz

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.

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.
