Here's an outstanding, early, staved wooden tavern tankard in very good condition! It was recently found in forgotten storage 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, dark, dry patina with rich coloring and distinctive graining peeking through. It shows plenty of age and wear, a testament to its age and authenticity. It has all the charms found with old wood including color variations, light abrasions, scratches, improvised repairs, and imperfections one would expect from a primitive piece that is around 200 years old. Despite this, there is no rot, active infestation, or significant structural damage. This piece is strong, sturdy, and solid. This in one of the largest tankards we have ever found, measuring 9 5/8 inches high with an opening diameter of 6 1/2 inches. The bottom of this piece is nonconcentric with a diameter that ranges from 7 1/4 to 7 1/2 inches. It's just as we found it, still a bit dusty and dirty but very charming. This museum-quality piece is a true survivor that is ready to become the centerpiece of your collection! You won't be disappointed in this!
