Liquid measure - Wood - 19th century - Frisian wooden grain measure

Old Frisian cylindrical wooden grain measure with metal fittings and pressed-in mark – characterful agricultural heritage An everyday object with a story! This wooden grain measure draws attention with its warm wood tone, robust metal bands and heavily worn surface. A tangible reminder of the time when grain was measured and traded in capacity-based amounts. The cylindrical wall is reinforced by metal strips with visible fastenings. A metal crossbar runs over the opening, connected to the bottom via a vertical bar. The combination of wood and dark metal gives the object a powerful, artisanal appearance. On the exterior there is a pressed, heraldic-looking mark. Wooden grain measures were also used and calibrated after the introduction of the Dutch metric system in 1820. A charming collectible for enthusiasts of old measures and weights, agricultural history, and rural interiors.
