The product is an original 19th-century patent certificate from the United Kingdom, specifically for an invention by Sir John Smith for filling casks. This historical piece of paper captures a unique and specific innovation from the pre-1920 era, making it a valuable and collectable item for those interested in antique and British history. The patent certificate is a tangible reminder of the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the time, adding a touch of nostalgia and authenticity to any collection of paper and ephemera.
The writing on the certificate is very faint and further research may need to be undertaken. It is in excellent condition, taking into consideration it’s age. Initial research has deduced that it was a patent for a contraption fulfilling beer casks without overflowing. Would love to donate this to a museum however if someone is prepared to collect, I would be happy to let it go for £20.
