A complete copper alloy trade weight, dating to the Victorian period (Modern, 1837-1901 AD). This particular trade weight was verified in London, as notated by the stamp depicting the shield of St. George and the Ewer, but the portcullis circle mark indicates that this weight was made or sold in Westminster, which was a part of London outside of the jurisdiction of the Founders Company (Biggs1992, 54).

19th century trade weight with a Sussex stamp. The weight is made from a leaded brass. It is flat and circular with a raised lip on the top, sides that taper towards the base and various squares punched into the base. There is also a deep circular recess cut into the base with possible remains of a white metal solder around the edge. This may have had a removable bung allowing the weight to be made 'short'. It is 43.7mm in diameter, 11.1mm thick and weighs 98 grams, 3.6 ounces. It was probably originally 4 ounces, a quarter of a pound. It is stamped at: 12 o'clock with A indicating i…
