Early 1900's Pewter Pint Tankard Glass Bottom Beer Stein Mug

Description: This tankard is stamped with the King George LCC28 (London County Council) verification mark. Since the LCC28 mark began use after 1891, this will be either George V or VI (1910 - 1952). No makers mark apparent to me, but I'm not expert in Pewter. Dimensions: Base diameter = 4-1/8", Top diameter = 3.25", Height = 4.75", Handle extends width by 1.5". The glass bottom was developed on tankards as a way to avoid the King's Shilling. In Britain starting the 18th and 19th centuries, military recruits were paid one schilling to serve in The British Army or The Royal Navy. To fool pub patrons, unscrupulous recruiters dropped the shilling in a tankard and bought a "free" beer for the unsuspecting recruit. The glass bottom allowed a savvy patron to see the shilling in the bottom so they could wisely refuse the drink. Condition: Excellent giftable condition. Surface nicks and scratches commiserate with age and use. Unpacked weight: 1 pound, 3 oz. Always happy to pass through discounts on combined shipping. I only charge actual postage, and always use recycled packing materials. Note some photos appear redundant because I take photos from all possible angles. On symmetrical items, these photos may appear redundant when there are no distinguishing differences or condition issues between side views.I gladly accept returns, but please note I do not pay return postage unless there was a significant error in my description. The item listed is being sold as is, as pictured and as described to the best of my knowledge. All dimensions and weights approximate. If you have a question or an assumption on an item prior to purchase, please ask. I much prefer to take the time on the front end to make sure you will be satisfied with your purchase. Remember, when buying vintage expect imperfections as these items have a history and have been in the possession of others. I try to list EVERY flaw which would be commented on something in an antique or vintage condition – this does not mean all imperfections resulting from normal wear & use require comment. My goal is to have no rude surprises upon receipt.
