Asset Overview

A complete lead or lead alloy local trade weight, of probable Post Medieval dating (17th to 18th Centuries AD). The weight is sub circular in shape, and rectangular in cross section. One concentric groove decorate the front of the weight. Inside this groove, it has been stamped with a set of incuse marks, which read IIII. This mark (I) probably denounces the required measure, whether it be 4 ounces or 4 measures of another commodity (such as flour).
