|
|
I went for a drive today to a small town not too far from here and found these 5 antique brass whisky spouts at a boot/garage sale from a private house. Each is engraved England and most have also a number 5. Are you familiar with these or have any idea as to age? The fellow who owned them (the son) told me they were in the family and had belonged to his father (who told his son they were for whisky) who had passed away and the son looked to be in his mid 50's.

I shined up two of them with vinegar and salt. Here's the finished product:

Any guess as to age or has anyone seen these before? A great conversation piece.
Another tidbit for my collection.

| They certainly look like they have been around a while, you have made a good job of polishing them up. |
