Century coppersmith made American dry measures are very rare. This set of 3 Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Dry measures by Guillard Dock are the only examples I have seen. Liquid measures are much more common than. Dry measures were often used by farmers to measure grain etc. I have been a collector of signed American metal for many years and have owned this set since the 1970s and have not previously offered them for sale. The measures are copper with brass bands as pictured. Included is a 1/2 peck, a peck and a 1/2 bushel measure. Each measure has a brass quantity shield. The shield from the 1/2 bushel measure is missing. It was present when the piece was aquired years ago but is now absent. The measures are is good used condition without serious dents or losses. Solder is present around the bases of each piece which was placed to reinforce the bottoms when used. These pieces have not been cleaned or polished are are being offered as found. Without known repairs or restorations. 1/2 gallon diameter 12 3/4 Ht.
