A silver-plated jigger by Hiram & Walker. This jigger features a raised circular medallion that says "Hiram Walker's High Ten" (High Ten was their straight Bourbon whiskey). This jigger was made for advertising purposes (given to bartenders, etc to promote their Bourbon). Heavier in weight, this piece is solid. Truly a neat, vintage bar measure.

A bit about Hiram & Walker: Ten High is a brand of American whiskey first introduced in the 1930s by Hiram Walker & Sons, now produced by the Barton Brands division of the Sazerac Company. The name Ten High refers to a barrel storage location at least ten ricks high, as barrels in the upper part of the aging warehouse mature faster. Although the brand name evoked this storage method, the manufacturer did not actually promise that the brand was from barrels aged in such locations. The brand order was originally produced by Hiram Walker & Sons (a company owned by Harry C. Hatch at the time) at a distillery in Peoria, Illinois, starting shortly after the end of Prohibition in 1933. It was a major brand (and the leading brand of Illinois-made bourbon) until the late 1960s when the American whiskey market went through a particularly difficult period.The Peoria distillery stopped distilling operations in 1973 and closed completely in 1981. After the Peoria distillery closed, production moved first to Heaven Hill and later to Barton, both based in Bardstown, Kentucky. The Sazerac Company acquired Barton, including the Ten High brand, in 2009. From the early 1980s until the late 2000s, Ten High was a straight Bourbon whiskey. Starting in 2009, the brand switched to being labelled "Bourbon – a blend", a designation for a product that is 51 percent straight Bourbon, with the remainder neutral spirits.

Hallmarks: "Silverplate by Fina" can be found on the bottom of the jigger

Measurements: Approx 2" tall x 2" diameter

Condition: Very good vintage condition. There's some mild tarnish in a few places. Overall, the silver-plating is in very, very good condition and extremely vibrant. There's also some mild surface wear on the bottom of the jigger. No dents or dings. Truly a lovely jigger.

Cheers!
