A lovely vintage sterling silver double jigger by Alvin, early Mid Century. Truly a cool piece. This double jigger features a smaller end (that holds 1 ounce) and a larger end (that holds 1 1/2 ounces) and has a sleek, classic design. Truly a lovely measure.
A bit about this vintage manufacturer: The Alvin Sterling Silver Company was founded in 1886 in Irvington, New Jersey. It was originally called the Alvin Manufacturing Company. The company produced sterling silver and silver-plated flatware. In 1919 the name changed to Alvin Silver Co until 1928 when assets, dies and patterns were purchased by Gorham Corporation operating in Providence plant as a separated division of Gorham under the name of Alvin Corporation. Today, Alvin is a subsidiary of Gorham, which continues to manufacture some of the early Alvin lines
Measurements: Approx 3 3/4" tall
Maker/year: Alvin Silver Co., early Mid Century
Hallmarks: "Alvin Sterling" can be found in small letters on the inside bottom of the larger jigger end.
Condition: Good vintage condition overall with mild signs of age/wear.
1) The silver is extremely vibrant overall. There's very mild we refer to as "general surface wear" that includes micro fine scratches here and there (from past handling, etc).
2) This jigger also has mild tarnish in a few places and general "age" that comes purely from time.
3) There are two micro shallow, very small dings that were impossible to capture in a photo, so we're noting them here in the Conditions Summary.
In short, this sterling jigger is in good shape overall with minor age/wear noted above. Truly a lovely jigger.
