<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Askett, post: 365970, member: 4727&quot;]I&#039;m hoping someone knowledgeable about English measures and pewter marks might be able to shed some light on an interesting item I picked up recently. As you&#039;ll see in the attached photos, it is marked &quot;quartern&quot; and also &quot;1/4 PT&quot;, which I understand to be the same thing, i.e. 1/4 of a pint in volume. I believe this is also the same as a &quot;gill&quot;. It appears to have a Crown VR verification mark, for Queen Victoria, above a three-digit number. This number is very difficult to make out but appears to me to be 150. On the same side, there is what looks to be a number 4. Lower down, a small brass plate stamped &quot;1/4 PT&quot; has been soldered to the side of the measure, something I&#039;ve not seen before. On the other side, there is a mark that appears to be a crown, with letters I can&#039;t quite make out above and below. Is this a maker&#039;s touch mark, or possibly and earlier verification mark? I would be very grateful for any thoughts!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/e3nGcNC.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/fapTKYV.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/uZ1qgHZ.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/c2Chv0W.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/hZxv2gm.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/kEZLdnv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/eTKO0eJ.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
