Up for sale is nice used Antique advertising liquid measuring device. It is square and measures about 1 1/4" at top and tapers down to 5/8" at bottom. Overall length is 37 1/2". It has a very unique top decoration made of twine and a metal band. The metal band has a pin that I easily pulled out with my finger, and lets band swivel to side to remove twine loop. Loop is one continuous piece. Possibly twine is tied to metal band to lower into liquid tank (milk ?) of some kind to measure depth. The depth of measurements from bottom is only 24". Only guessing. Advertising is stenciled on all 4 sides.  It is in good used shape, other than some lettering is worn in spots. Wear on it kind of looks like it was used maybe as a cane or walking stick.
