Hello Reenactors, its Cocktail time and are you ready with a very good Tankard for drinks in your belongings? if not, we have on offer a lovely preowned vintage excellent condition unbranded American made Pewter Tankard Mug up for sale this week. Please refer to my very clear photos to study details.
The very thick and heavy well made Tankard has an attached flip lid covered humped top, with clear glass bottom. It has a sturdy curved flange handle, slight tapered body shape, mid body line scored ribs add stability, nice clean interior, and flared rim edge. Very clever construction detail from an earlier time in history is just as good today!
It is made by unnamed American pewter company. To the extent these items are made to be used, this Tankard represents a great item for Living History and useful to add to your collection for group meals, bring a plate suppers in the field, where outdoor smoked foods are so delicious with a cup of Nottingham Ale!
The Tankard has a nice silvery grey polished patina overall even coverage in its color, with a medium shine reflection. Tankard sits flat on table surface, no rocking. I'm sure any serious Reenactor would love to have this Mug as a gift! See our matching Plate alternate auction for a fabulous paired set, or our more upscale museum repro mug.
