Description

Pewter tankard. Flat lid with scrolled thumbpiece. Barrel inscribed within a belt: 'The gift of Brother Cole to the Knights of the Hole, 15th April 1789. Noble Grand, Brother Kinsley'. On the belt is inscribed: 'free and easy'. Beneath the belt: 'persevere'. On the base: Sister Wills, Hole in the Wall, Fleet Street.

The lid is probably a replacement.
