Beer engine
Model
This is a model beer engine, a device for pumping beer. It was made by a workman of the donor’s grandfather in the nineteenth century, probably as an exhibition piece, and was used at the Cock Inn in Warminster, Wiltshire. It has a wooden veneer body, with four ivory handles with four taps (for light ale, bitter, stout and porter) and a pewter sink.
