A whiskey flagon from Higgins & Keighron Ltd, Wholesale Merchants, Sligo.
Higgins & Keighron Ltd, Wholesale and Retail business, Grocers, Wine, and Tea trades. Patrick Keighron began trading in the 1850s in his shop on The Mall and in the 1880s his son-in-law Francis Higgins opened up a second shop on the corner of Grattan Street, Sligo.
If you’re in the market for your own whiskey flagon, I spotted Brittas Bay Antiques in Wicklow, have a nice selection, including a Sligo O’Connor Brothers whiskey flagon. You can also join the Facebook group Irish Antique Bottle Collectors Club, they meet a few times a year to swap and buy old ginger bottles and flagons.
