1960s Gaskell & Chambers Pewter 1/5 Gill Drinks Measure
1960s Gaskell & Chambers Pewter 1/5 Gill Drinks Measure
This is a 1960s Gaskell & Chambers Pewter 1/5 Gill Drinks Measure.
It is marked on the rim with
- a Crown and EIIR 668
- 4 66
This indicates that it was made in 1966 during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II.
It is in good vintage condition but has surface scratches. I haven’t attempted to polish it as some people prefer to do this themselves. It would make a lovely gift to a collector or as a retirement/ thank you present.
