    Hope your hubby had a nice birthday.
    Thank you for your help all.

    Just looking to see when they started to stamp “England”? This one definitely doesn’t have that.

    Just taking a better photo in the daylight seams to have some lettering under?

    Looks like a dragon on the small hallmark ?
    Thanks again all :)

    Full to the top it’s 1.2 pints or 650ml.
    No pint or measure markings anywhere on it.

    Sarah, I agree with the conclusions of the board that this is a 20th century reproduction. I wish it wasn't, because I own an identical copy of your covered tankard. Like yours it does not have the ENGLAND stamp, but has the same marks except for the squiggle (which I think is just a scratch on yours). It looks like the reproduction company made this in two versions - one with a cover and one without, and that they were forced to add the ENGLAND stamp on some but not until they had already produced a bunch without. My further conclusion is that the ones you see on ebay (I saw three) are also reproductions, though the sellers either don't know or don't care.

    Thank you for your help. I’m new to these pewter tankards but have about 20 of them - id love to know more about them as this is just one but don’t want to bombard on here!
    Thanks again
    Sarah

    Post as much as you like, best to do a separate thread on each. :)
