Before the advent of modern mass production and standardized units, measures like this were crucial for commerce. The practice of "stamping" or "verifying" these measures with a governmentapproved seal was a way to ensure fair trade and prevent fraudulent practices. The lead plug on the rim, often bearing a crown or other mark, signified that the measure had been checked by a Weights and Measures inspector. This particular mark, which appears to be a stylized crown over the initials "VR" (Victoria Regina), dates the item to the reign of Queen Victoria (18371901), making it a genuine antique.Description & Condition
