This is for a rare early brass Scandinavian pastry jigger from the late 1600s. Its a double wheel jigger with two different styles on each wheel. The seminal book on these interesting pieces kitchen history 'Pastry Jiggers and Pastry Prints' by Michael Finlay shows an incomplete example on page 12...see pic. The jigger is in excellent condition with no damage to it anywhere and as you can see it has a lovely warm unpolished patina to it. It measures 139mm long.
