$250.00

This is a rare item to find Stateside and a fascinating piece of history. This is a Standard Gill measure used in the 19th and early 20th centuries beginning in 1825. This item is from the County of QUEENS, Ireland and has the various stamps on the lip and on the side for legal trade. These typically were issued to counties in sets ranging from 1/2 or 1/4 Gill up to Bushel size (quite heavy) and used as reference for sale/trade. FYI, a British Gill is 5 ounces vs 4 ounces in America. Valued between $400-$500 (American), full sets generally sell for several thousand dollars and are usually found in museums in the British Isles. Feel free to ask questions. I also have another one from Mayo County currently in a separate sale. I own an antique mall in Louisville, KY and I\'ve listed these on to offer these internationally in case someone wants to return them home! Thanks for looking and happy offerding!
