Stunning wine barrel , used to age wine and later transport "John Rolfe" cigarettes via ship. Cut horizontally in half with hinges and beautiful hasp and staple. Stamped on either end with "John Rolfe " . Resting on a solid stand , and is a very stable . Can be used as fancy wine rack , storage or just as a gorgeous ornament !! We have moved to a smaller house and will be very sorry to see it go , but it should be shown!!
