Questions & Answers from Ebay

Q: Thanks for doing another measure of volume. What an amazing story about the £31.27!! In return, can I ask your permission to mention this sum, and use your photo of the flagon, on a webpage about Daniel Wilson & Son that I've knocked up on my Local History webpage, which you will find at www.wirksworth.org.uk/X514.htm Perhaps you can mention this webpage to potential buyers of the flagon, it will provide a bit of background to this fascinating object. 12-Apr-09 A: yes, you can let me have the address as i would like to have a look myself, thanks, chris Q: Thanks very much for measuring the volume. Could I ask you to repeat it, just measuring to the bottom of the neck, where it meets the 'shoulder'(ie the bottom of the cork). The difference between Imperial (introduced in 1824) at 9.092 litres and ale-gallon (before 1824) at 9.24 litres may be too small to measure, but its worth a try. I am asking experts about this, will keep you posted. 11-Apr-09 A: Hi i have just filled the flagon with a better mesuring jug it holds 9.95 litres of water, im glad you asked me to do the test because i have j ust got out £31.27 in change that must have been stuck to the bottom, cheers, chris Q: How have you arrived at the 1820 date line on this flagon, my research and knowledge of bottles suggest's it dates from around the early 1850's Daniel Wilson had three sons which appear in the 1861 census they are all in the family wine and spirit merchant business and Daniel appears in the 1851 census as a maltster. Best Regards Bottlebaron. 11-Apr-09 NOTES: See Daniel, John Walter and William in 1861 Census. A: Hi it is just that i have one of simular shape with a date stamped on it, it was just a guess and it could be later as you sugest, thanks, chris Q: Hello, can you tell me the serial number on the flagon, I can't quite read it in the photo. On the bottom right, does it say 'GALL 2', or what? Do you happen to know what brand of gallon it would be, perhaps an 'ale gallon' introduced in 1824 I believe. It would be great if you could fill it with water, measure the water in litres, and let me know. That way we could work out the type of gallon, and get an idea of the date of manufacture. Would it hold ale or wine? The seller Daniel Wilson called himself a maltster, he had to compete against a nearby 'wine & spirit seller', and eventually lost out. Best wishes, 11-Apr-09 A: yes it says GALL 2 and the seriat No is 215, I have filled it up with water and it holds 10.3 litres of water to the very top hope ths helps, please let me know as it would be of interest to me as well, thanks, chris
