Prohibited: 1929
Washington, D.C., circa 1929. "Utilization of confiscated bootleg paraphernalia." Getting crafty with the tin snips in our second glimpse of Prohibition-era contraband. Once again, enigmatic accouterments abound. View full size.
Boiler
I'm thinking that fellow is wrecking a perfectly good five-gallon mash boiler.
Utilisation.
I suppose the man is making those trays, candleholders and other knick-knacks from cut up copper churns. I'm not familiar enough with the bootlegging process to say what the churn was originally used for, unless perhaps as a condenser in a still.
You might expect this to be convict work, but the fellow appears to be a paragon of respectability.
