Literature

Bruzelli, Birger, Swedish measure, weight, and scale history 1605-1889, p. 13: "From Wira mill, there are measures from the 1700s and onwards, primarily from the first half of the century. They have a pierced crown as a handle termination, but it is almost always damaged. They also feature a beautiful floral engraving, the year of manufacture, and the owner's name engraved."
