Six measures: Demi Décilitre, Décilitre, Demilitre, Litre [liter], a second Demi Décilitre, and Double Centilitre. Each carries a coat-of-arms on the stem showing a crown over a cross and the letters G. T. Underneath the measures is engraved an eagle with the abbreviation "GM & Ce." The punchmark, variously called "handshake," "clasped hands," or "à la bonne foi" ["in good faith"] was used in France in the second half of the nineteenth century.
