The Indenture No. on the rim of this measure distinctly has the crown (the symbol of authority of the Inspector) with V on the left and R on the right, indicating that this was in the reign of Queen Victoria. The nos 346 are marked linking the half gallon measure to Dorset. The numbers enable the measure to be placed no earlier than 1879. Dorset was divided into many different areas and the letters underneath numbers may refer to a particular division for the Inspection.Cataloged By
