Glen Garry Jugs

Ron Maclean says

―

Every corkscrew collector should have a John Hopkins & Co.,

Scotland, Glen Garry Scotch Whisky jug with the corkscrew logo. They were

manufactured in Scotland in great numbers in at least six different versions all

with a corkscrew trademark.

They were made in different sizes, shapes, handle & neck variations, colours and

advertising content. In the mid 20th century they were marketed by the

American importer S.S. Pierce Co. Boston, Massachusetts. The smaller sizes with

two handles were made well into the 20th century. Whisky jugs are quite

common and not that difficult to find.

This Glen Garry Jug is marked with two lines in

Spanish indicating approval in 1961 to import by a

ministry in Venezuela: REGISTRATO EN EL

MINISTERIO DE SANIDAD Y ASISTENCIA SOCIAL
