Whet Your Whistle Tankard
In the noisy dockside taverns of old, calling for more ale was a demanding process. So rather than try to shout over the general hubbub, those who could afford to had a whistle built into the handle of their tankard. The barmaid's attention could then be attracted by the "whetting" (literally meaning stimulus) of your whistle. The phrase "to whet your whistle" later came to mean the pouring of liquid down the throat; whilst being "whistled" in itself became slang for the consequences of having WHISTLED TOO MUCH!
Price: £34.95

King's Shilling Tankard
A genuine old British King's Shilling is sandwiched within the double-glass bottom of this classic design pewter tankard. Engraved on the side is the story of how press gangs tricked men into committing themselves to service by passing the coin to them in a tankard of ale. In the 18th century, a glass bottomed tankard was invented to help spot the danger. There is a panel for up to 10 letters of engraving.
Price: £34.95
