Crown-stamped to certify that it passed official inspection, this is an authentic pub measure of the type used behind British bars before metrification.  Measuring 1-7\/8 inches high and in excellent vintage condition, it would make a distinctive addition to a gentleman’s home bar or drinks tray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the leading suppliers of equipment to British pubs, Gaskell \u0026amp; Chambers was founded in Birmingham in 1892 by Cornelius Chambers.  The company manufactured beer engines, pub fittings, and commercial bar equipment including spirit measures like ours.  A gill was one-quarter of a pint, with 1\/6 gill (approximately 23.7 ml) once the standard single measure of spirits in England and Wales.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 1-7\/8” x 1-1\/4” (top opening) x 1” (base)\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 2.2 oz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition notes: Excellent vintage condition overall, with bright nickel-plated finish showing light surface scratches and minor handling marks consistent with age and use.
