Half pint

[JanGroen]

Good afternoon
This silver plated half pint cup are marked with crossing axes and WW beneath. On the side it has a crown wit a G and R next to it with numbers (time of king George ?) . Is this the stamp of approval by the King that it takes half a pint? What does the other letters and numbers stands for and where in England is it from?

Thank you
Jannie

Hi Jannie,

That is the mark of Robert Pringle & Sons, WW denotes their factory, the Wilderness Works.

And yes, that is the confirmed capacity mark issued by the old London County Council.
