4-PIECE LIQUID CAPACITY MEASURE SET by W. & L.E. GURLEY
12-009. American, 1st quarter 20th century, signed "W. & L.E. GURLEY, TROY, N.Y., USA." and described in the 1912 "Gurley's Handbook of Weights and Measures for the Use of Sealers" as follows: "This type of liquid measure will be found the most pratical and compact form for sealers and inspectors who carry their test equipment in portable cases. The three smaller measures rest upon the top ring of the next larger size, being firmly held in place by the screw cover which prevents them from striking together. They are strongly constructed though very light, the set of four measures weighing only 2 1/4 pounds. No. 9920. Set of nickeled measures, 1 quart, 1 pint, 1/2 pint and 1 gill." This attractive set of nested liquid measures is in fine overall condition.
