Antique Pewter Bellied Measure - Gaskell & Chambers




SOLD

Small (1/6th Gill) pewter bellied measure by Gaskell & Chambers of Birmingham. It does bear a verification stamp, the crown is visible although I can't make out the monarch's initials. The uniform verification number is 93 which makes it verified in Lancashire from 1879 onwards. G & C were formed in 1892. There is another stamp on the belly but I can only make out a few letters. It has a few knocks, small dents and marks and the handle is slightly bent but it's nevertheless charming, as these invariably are.
