Antique Small Round Bentwood Dry Grain Measure by EB Frye Wilton, New Hampshire

Description:  During the earlier years, wooden buckets similar to this one were common for measuring dry ingredients.  This small dry measure made by E.B. Frye & Son, now a historic landmark was manufactured in their Wilton, N.H. historic mill. This dry measure is a small size measure 5 3/4" inch diameter and 3 ½ inch in height with an overlap from right to left with eight nails (or tacks) securing the seam.  Well constructed of bentwood with early, small round nails or tacks, it still retains the E.B.
