From time to time I -still- look on E-bay for Alembics. Just curious ...no intention to buy whatsoever.
Now this is the most weird -but completely logic- search result I got!

And the picture:

This alembic really invites to say cheers ...
Happy Holidays!!!

The word alembic means something like to distill. I see a few of these things every time I go to e-bay and Alembic. They are kinda cool. Maybe it could be made into a preamp and amp or something.

Brother Sam,

I am sorry but no.
Stupid me.
Now things come completely clear why 8 out of 10 threads on this clun turn partially into a beer discussion.

You know what? After basses, guitars, cabinets, cutting plates, fancy boxes, gobelets, drumkits ...Alembic will start a liquor-line ...yeeee-haaaaa!

Paul the bad one

There's a canary-yellow Art Deco Alembic sign from the 1930s on US eBay now, or at least it was there the last time I checked.

I tried to post a message to say never mind I found it but that didn't go through for whatever reason.

Alembic liquor....humm Why not? There's already a Lindeman's beer & wine.

Brother Paul, you should be here for the Guinness stew and Jim Beam pecan pie we're having this weekend. I love this time of year.
