Post medieval copper alloy trade weight The weight is heavily corroded and the marks are now difficult to distinguish. The sword and ewer are discernible but the crowned letter is uncertain, possibly a letter G (George). The weight currently weighs 12.79g, equivalent to 0.451 ounce, probably originally a half-ounce weight, possibly under the Avoirdupois system. The weight is corroded with a dark-green patination.

A Post Medieval copper alloy trade weight of Charles I or II (1625-1649 or 1660-1685). The weight is discoidal, its upper side is concave, has a raised rim, and a central circular indentation which is 12.8mm in diameter. Around this circle there are four mostly well-defined stamp marks and a very faint one: 1) a crowned CR monogram (the R is barely discernible), which marks this weight as having been made during Charles’ reign, 2) a sword hilt, 3) the letter A, for the avoirdupois system, 4) an unclear stamp, shaped like a D, possibly the tip of the sword whose hilt can be seen o…

A complete Post Medieval copper alloy trade weight dating to AD 1689-1702. The weight is flat and discoidal with a raised rim around the upper surface which is stamped with the marks of a crowned WM (for William and Mary), an Ewer (for the London Founder's Company) and a sword (the sword of St. Paul for the City of London Guildhall). These marks date this weight to AD 1689-1702. Scratches visible on the rear of the weight do not appear to be decoration – presumably adjustment/filing marks. The object is smooth with a mid-green patina and measures 24.8mm in diameter, is 4.1mm…

Crudely cast, slightly waisted, copper alloy vessel leg. Length 41mm, width 28-33mm, thickness 18mm, weight 77.4 grams. Identifying the vessel type that this leg is from is not possible. Presumably it was either a cauldron, skillet, jug or ewer. Close dating is equally difficult as the form of the legs like this did not change from the medieval period until the seventeenth century (Read 1995, 95).

Complete cast copper alloy vessel leg. Part of the apparently integrally cast body of the vessel remains attached to the leg. Length 78mm, width 16-17 mm, weight 115.2 grams. Medieval to post-medieval. The surface of the leg is preferentially blackened in comparison to the inside of the vessel body; this "sooting" is a common phenomena and is due to oxidisation of the outer surface of the vessel through exposure to the cooking fire.

Cast copper alloy vessel foot. The foot has a rib on its external surface and tapers to a rounded point. The upper part of the casting is missing. Vessel feet are not uncommon detector finds (Bailey 1997, 36). Although examples which terminate in turned-out bases or paws are the most common type, examples with rounded tips are not unknown. Surviving length 79mm, max width (surviving) 35mm, max surviving thickness 16mm. Fifteenth to seventeenth century probably [i.e. Late Medieval - Early Post-Medieval]. Parallels: Lewis 1978, 36, no.45 (skillet); and Lewis 1978, 32, no.38 (Cauldron)
