THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL
ANTIQUE
1/2 GALLON
ANTIQUE
COPPER
HAYSTACK MEASURE
or
HARVEST MEASURE
A large 1/2 gallon jug, traditionaly used to carry ale to the labourers working in the English fields at harvest time.
In my estimation it dates from the late 19th Century, but please make up your own mind about this
The jug measures approx 9 1/2 inches (240mm) tall, by 7 inches (180mm) diameter across the base.
It has all the usual dings and dents, and repairs you would expect to find on a copper vessel which has had a working past, but no splits or holes.(see photos).
There is a lead verification seal on the rim.
This is a substantial jug, a great piece of English agricultural heritage.
Please see the photos for condition and type
