Lot number: 064-3422

Winning bid: £30

The purpose of a hydrometer is to determine the specific gravity of a liquid. From this it is often possible to determine the composition or strength of the liquid. The Sikes hydrometer was, for very many years, the standard means of determining the alcohol content of spirits and hence the duty payable.

Please examine all images of the lot, any packaging and labels carefully and satisfy yourself as to their condition before making a bid.
