Sunday 2 weeks ago, I got The sign that was originally hanging on DSP-Pa-12, back from Fricky. It had been covered with rubble when the still was knocked down and I found it in 2006. I slowly removed the rubble, got it out, and turned it so water would not lay on it.
On Nov 2008, My friends that watch the place brought it out on their Loader and trimed the bad ends off it. Then Fricky took it with our Barrels to try and stop the lettering from falling off because of the old paint. Well, He sprayed it with Laqer then brushed it with Laqer and now it is dry and saved for History. We could not get the middle to snap back where it had broke but the lettering is sealed on.
Also, I am posting a picture of a Bill of Sale from Continentals Pa. Marcus Hoop Cooperage Plant for 19,000 Barrels staves to a KY Company. The far side of the bill is chopped off as to wide for the scaner, but you can read the important stuff on it. The Bill of sale says 19,000 Barrel Staves sold to Bourbon Cooperage Company of Lebanon Kentucky, Aug 31 1977.
Does this Company still Exist?
Continental was on great terms with Many Distillers in Ky, in those days of Old. I have alot more Letter Head, I have saved, from the plant and will be looking through and posting lots of it in the future.
