Need Help ID'ing N&W Artifacts

[NW Mailing List]

Jeff,

A little additional info on the artifacts that you inquired about.  The NWHS Archives has N&W tin ware drawings listed in the Archives database.  A check of the drawing sheets revealed that the "pitcher" shown in your photos MG 6176 and MG 6177 shows up as follows under N&W tin ware overall drawing B19772:
    Sheet 27 "One Pint Measure"
    Sheet 28 "One Quart Measure"
    Sheet 29 "Two Quart Measure"
    Sheet 30 "One Gallon Measure"
On Sheet 27 the handle extends to the bottom of the pitcher, whereas on the taller pitchers the handle does not extend to the bottom.

Apparently, the pitcher could be used for various measuring purposes.

This is all of the info that I could glean from the tin ware folio about the items that you listed.

  My dad recently purchased a few items of N&W nomenclature and I'd like to know if anyone can help identify them.  We've got some ideas but I wanted to enlist the help of the experts.  Any information would be appreciated.  Photos can be found in this album:
