    This barrel that a friend recently acquired is mis-labelled "Saint Johns NB" which does not have an "s" at the end, commonly confused with St.John's Newfoundland which properly has an "s" at the end. It is also patented 1902 which I believe is early or may be the first year these barrels were Patented. Just wondering if this would be a collectible or desirable item due to the error and date
