Representative of the Temperance movement:
Temperance began in the early 1800s as a movement to limit drinking in the United States. The movement combined a concern for general social ills with religious sentiment and practical health considerations in a way that was appealing to many middle-class reformers. Women in particular were drawn to temperance in large numbers. Temperance reformers blamed “demon rum” for corrupting American culture and leading to violence, immorality and death.
The earliest temperance reformers were concerned with the over-indulgence of American drinkers and encouraged moderation and eventually led to US Prohibition in the 1920s--this particular charm would have been worn, perhaps, to mourn the of the end of Prohibition and the return to alcoholic indulgence.
We love this finely-made old charm— so its up to you as to how to wear it-- as a warning about the evils of alcohol or as a cheeky way to show you like to party!
