An authentic Victorian-era English copper ½ gill rum/grog measure, used in the long-standing naval tradition of issuing a daily rum ration to enlisted sailors. In the British Royal Navy, rum was mixed with water to create “grog,” which was then portioned using measures like this.

Stamped with the royal cipher “VR 6” (Victoria Regina), this piece dates to the 1850s Birmingham district, a major hub for naval supply production. These were essential working tools aboard ships and dockyards, making surviving examples highly collectible today.

Beautifully worn with rich age patina and honest surface marks from decades of service. Not intended for modern culinary use unless professionally retinned.

Poor quality
Size: S, Color: Brown, Size: S, Color: Brown
Hoped that this would be better than it was. The material is cheap and wants to roll in at the zipper making it difficult to close. It does offer lots of room and can be worn as a cross body also.

Professional and streamlined leather backpack
I’ve had a dozen or so backpacks to use for work (corporate environment), and I really love this one. The leather is of high quality, plenty of pockets, strong zippers, straps, and grab handle, and provides a polished, professional, well-put together look. In the rear, zippered compartment, I have a 15-inch HP laptop, an iPad, and a 1/2 inch notebook. The main compartment is spacious and holds chargers for each device plus a lot of other miscellaneous items. There are two front, zippered compartments (one is intentionally “hidden” behind the other) that offer a secure and accessible way to access smaller items like pens, air pods, keys, etc. Great purchase, and I would definitely buy it again.
