Default measures

found a couple nice rosewood handled, solid brass measures yesterday - one marked "POWDER" and DR for drams with settings 3 to 5 in halfs - the other marked "SHOT" and has settings from 3/4 to 1 1/4 oz -


both have a spout - with I have not seen often- the shot dipper is marked "G & J W Hawksley" the powder one has no makers mark but except for a slightly darker color to the wood is nearly a perfect match to the other



not Parker , tools butvery well made and will look good cased with one of the hammer guns
