You did well and thank you for saving it. I often do the same, there is a bloke at the local antique market who buys old pewter tankards for scrap, he lets me look through his scrap box for any that I think are worth saving.
My latest purchase from him is a glass bottom tankard, without the glass, that is engraved with the badge of the Inns of Court O.T.C. It reads: Inns of Court O.T.C. Prize for Recruits. 1922. Squadron. Won by E.M. Brandebourg.
Surprisingly, Eric M Brandebourg served in both the Machine Gun Corps and the Hampshire Regiment during the Great War.
