    I have two haystack measures here. I've done some research on them but only found very little applicable knowledge. One measures a gallon and the other measure a pint I think. What I'm wondering is what the labels on the front of them mean. They both say "Madras Excise - Gallon Makers - T.K.N. & Co." I cannot find ANYTHING pertaining to any of those words. I'm assuming that they are Indian and date from sometime during the British colonization. Can anyone tell me any more information?
    Thanks for your help!
