LOT SOLD
CLOSING BID
This item is a vintage copper and brass whisky toddy ladle (also referred to as a spirit measure or dipper).
These were traditionally used to serve spirits from a larger bowl or pot—most commonly for making a "Hot Toddy" (whisky, hot water, honey, and spices). The exceptionally long handle allowed the server to reach into deep punch bowls or copper pots without getting too close to the heat or steam.
