Grain measure – double decaliter

Favorite for this object from another time... It is a grain measure used to transport grain, as its name suggests 😉 it has a capacity of a double decaliter, or twenty liters.these dimensions correspond to the legal system of weights and measures put in place by the ordinance of louis-philippe on october 16, 1830, the interior diameter and height have the same value. This type of measure was marketed in the 20th century by manufrance, a saint-etienne company selling agricultural tools, household items of all kinds, but also weapons and bicycles. Grain measure in woodwork and metal. The wall is made of a thin wooden plate rolled up and held by metal strapping on the lower and upper edges. It is reinforced by vertical metal strips nailed to the wall and strapping. A transverse interior handle and a fixed central metal rod reinforce the whole. This model has very natural time marks. The wood has been cleaned, treated and waxed. Very nice decorative object, to be diverted as desired ♥ dimensions: h33 X 30 cm net weight: 2 kg.
