Pewter Jigger or Measure with Horn-Shaped Body

This item is a pewter drinking vessel, likely a jigger or measure, with a distinctive curved, horn-shaped body and a large, ergonomic handle. The material appears to be a relatively soft, unpolished pewter with a matte, slightly textured surface and evidence of minor surface wear and scratching consistent with age and use. The handle is attached securely to the body through soldering or a similar metal joining process, showcasing decent craftsmanship. Notable markings include three circular symbols in relief on the upper portion of the body, followed by the letters "USA". Although the specific meaning of the symbols is unclear without further research, they likely represent a maker's mark or a quality stamp. The lack of significant dents or deformation suggests it has been handled with some care, though the overall patina indicates it is not new and may have seen use over several decades. Based on the style and the "USA" marking, it likely dates from the mid to late 20th century. The quality of the casting and the attachment of the handle are indicative of standard manufacturing practices for this type of item during that period.
