Vintage Half-Pint Pewter Tankard - James Yates




SOLD

Good quality half pint tankard of substantial thickness and weight by James Yates. The history of James Yates is convoluted and the right to use the name, molds and touches has passed between many companies, including Gaskell & Chambers who held the rights until their own demise in 1983. This design is based roughly on the G & C 14/4027 design appearing in their catalogues of the mid 20th Century. It has the ABPC mark on the base which would date it post 1970 so we can date it fairly accurately. It does have a couple of nicks and scratches but nothing too drastic and with a bit of elbow grease it buffs up quite well.
