I have a pair of small open pewter measures. (Pic only shows one) They are only 2 1/4 inches (5.7cm) tall and hold less than 2oz (american). They are stamped on the bottom with what looks like a German Eagle or a Griffin of some type. There is also a Fleur-de-Lis stamp mark. They have letters that encircle the eagle, but some have rubbed off. From what I can glean, the letters are L. A _ _ _ _ . AN . There are circular markings on the bottom, that makes me think they were worked on a lathe.

The shape is very different from the English bulbous style measure. They flare out at the center and go straight down. The thumb pads on the handles are very flat. There are sets of incised rings on the outside of the measure, 2 at the top, 3 in the middle and 3 near the bottom.

My research is leading me toward German or Austrian, but could be American too. German marks are not well documented. I’ve searched the web and gone to my local Library, but can’t pin these down.

If I can’t find the maker, it would be great if I could pin down age and origin. Maybe someone can help with that by the form? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
