Small circular cast cu-alloy weight, probably dating from the early 18th century. The weight was part of a 'nest of weights' and has a small rim around the upper surface in which a small weight would have fitted. The weight itself would have sat in the heavier weight underneath. The upper surface is stamped with a crowned 'WR' which probably means WILLIAM REX which would date the weight to the early 18th century.

Small trade weight of cast copper alloy. Depicts inscription WIV (William 4th) beneath a crown with a possible provincial mark WK beneath. The W may indicate 'Wiltshire' but it is unclear what the K represents. William 4th reigned from 1830-1837 therefore the weight was cast in this period and follows the introduction of the 1826 'Imperial Standards' act (Bailey 2000 page 43).

Modern cast lead, or lead alloy spiked ring fishing weight. It is circular with a circular perforation running through the centre. The external sides are angled but the internal sides are broadly straight. There is a series of 8 flattened conical discs on either side. There are the remains of a trapped iron wire loop where the iron staining is. These weights were apparently designed for use in surf and are often used when crabbing. They are also used on occasion on modern hand looms, usually by hobbyists. Maximum external diameter of 39mm, thickness 17mm, and the central perforatio…

Cast copper alloy (probably brass) trade weight, with lead plugging, dating between c1830 and c1970AD. Diameter is 25mm. The stamps are difficult to read as they have been over struck. It appears to be a 1/2 ounce measure. The royal cypher marks are nearly illegible as the weight has been retested and the original mark overstruck, presumably when the lead pugging was added to the rear to correct the weight. The plugging should also have marks struck into them to prove the weight is officially corrected. Their absence may be due to ageing or the result of lead being removed by an unscr…
