It never ceases to amaze me what people throw out,I went to our local civic amenity skips today to dump garden waste,and whilst there, a woman was in the process of dumping a box of unwanted items...before she had achance to dump the box into a skip, i rescued a few items....one stone ware hot water bottle..and 2 x liquor measures,....liquor...where did that come from....God, I,m becoming Americanised LOL,
one is a 1/2 gill measure and the smaller one is a 1/5th of a gill,they are both made of pewter,
and they have the makers name on the underside
Harry Mason Ltd,Birmingham...which will be UK..and not Alabamha

In the charity shops you can,sometime,s end up falling over them,as there,s that many of them...i,ll be using this one as a door stop,

Love this style of foot warmer! They were also referred to as pig warmers - because they resembled the snout of a pig!
You will find that this style is much more prevalent on your side of the pond than ours!
