An original 28 oz. beer schooner from Hinky Dink's Saloon, known as the original "Workingmen's Exchange." The famous Hinky Dink Saloon, owned and operated by Michael "Hinky Dink" Kenna, opened in 1881 in the First Ward of Chicago, a working-class district rampant with corruption, prostitution and gambling. Kenna, sober himself, was highly involved in both city and underworld politics. Business declined during Prohibition and the saloon closed its doors in 1937.
