An authentic Victorian-era English copper ½ gill rum/grog measure, used in the long-standing naval tradition of issuing a daily rum ration to enlisted sailors. In the British Royal Navy, rum was mixed with water to create “grog,” which was then portioned using measures like this.

Stamped with the royal cipher “VR 6” (Victoria Regina), this piece dates to the 1850s Birmingham district, a major hub for naval supply production. These were essential working tools aboard ships and dockyards, making surviving examples highly collectible today.

Beautifully worn with rich age patina and honest surface marks from decades of service. Not intended for modern culinary use unless professionally retinned.

Comfortable and stylish
This has been wonderful. My son is a game show host and has to wear a blazer to work on game days. He throws this in the back of his car when he’s done and it’s went through a lot and still holds its shape. The colors look great and it’s comfortable. He says it doesn’t feel heavy on and is easy to take care of.

What a great fun purchase!
How fun this jacket was!! Fit true to size. (XL pictured). Made well. Sequins help up well-they didn’t fall off. Bright color. Nice covered buttons with extras! Would definitely buy again. Got tons of compliments at event we attended. Paired great with dress shirt, bow tie, black jeans and gold light up shoes we also found on Amazon. Price point was great compared to others. Husband wears XL and this was very comfortable when sitting and also when buttoned standing up.

Jazzy!
Looked fine and fit just right. Sequins do rub the neck a little, if the shirt collar isn't high enough. Really got a jazzy feel to it.

Fit great, good price, and fast shipping for a last minute NYE dinner
Let me start by saying that I had very low expectations, all I truly cared about was getting something “blingy” as fast as possible for a last minute New Years Eve dinner. I was impressed by the speed of arrival, price & floored by the quality. Now of course, this is NOT a tailored $300 jacket, but it was great for our evening. Did not shed any sequins, no problems with wrinkles, and didn’t have any weird smells. My husband said it was comfortable, and he plans to wear it again should the need arise.
