Set of Gun Metal
19th C. Tavern Measures
Sets of gun metal, or red brass, tavern measures are extremely uncommon. This assembled set is very closely matched and includes the pint, half-pint, gill, half-gill and quarter-gill sizes commonly used in drinking establishments in the 1800s. For commercial use, measures had to be certified accurate by an official sealer from the Department of Weights and Measures, and each of these has full sealer’s marks. A really handsome set with great color in terrific condition.
$575
