Here's an exceptional, early, staved wooden tavern tankard in very good condition! It was recently found hidden away in an attic and is very well preserved. It's style strongly resembles that of tankards of the Revolutionary War Period. Made of staved pine with chestnut lap bands, it's still tight, sturdy and sound, after all these years. It has an old patina with rich, warm coloring and distinctive graining throughout. The handle was carved by hand and is part of one of the staves. While there are signs of age and wear, there is no rot, infestation, or significant structural damage. It measures 7 inches high with an opening diameter of 4 1/8 inches. The bottom of this piece is nonconcentric with a diameter that ranges from 5 to 5 3/8 inches. This museum-quality piece is a true survivor that is ready to become the centerpiece of your collection!
