Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Knowsley
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead alloy weight probably of post-medieval date. The object is sub-spherical with a sub-oval perforation running through it. There is no visible decoration and the object has been damaged at each end.
This type of weight has been in use for a long period of time and can have multiple functions or uses. Other weights of this shape have been suggested to be net or line weights from fishing. Modern line weights are similar but tend to have a smaller perforation.
Dimensions: 19mm in height, 17mm in width, 22.10g.

Record ID: LVPL-1C48F4
Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Knowsley
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead alloy weight or spindle whorl probably of post-medieval date. The object is circular in plan and cylindrical. In the centre of the object is a regular perforation with an internal diameter of 8mm of diameter. There is no visible decoration and it has been flattened on one side due to damage. The object has a dark grey patina. Due to the size and lack of decoration it is more likely this object functioned as a weight rather than a spindle whorl however it cannot be ruled out.
Dimensions: 19mm in diameter, 11mm thick, 29.85g.

A large lead alloy weight probable post-medieval date. The weight is roughly conical widening towards one end. The outer face of the object is decorated with moulded vertical ridges.

The weight is probably a steelyard weight indicated by the central hole wh…

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Knowsley
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy weight of probable late post-medieval or modern date (1700-1800). The weight is part of a larger group of trade/stacking weights, having a wide and relatively thick raised edge on the upper face. The front and rear faces both have turned circles around a central point on the obverse and a raised boss on the reverse; all of these concentric circles are regular and well formed. The upper face is marked irregularly with a central crowned bust which is surrounded by three roses and a worn rectangular stamp.
