Description: | Copper-alloy standing 2oz "bell" weight, with flaring rectangular handle, triple collar and bell-shaped lower half. The perforation in the handle has been blocked with lead, and there is also a lead plug projecting from the underside. Despite the addition of the lead, the weight still only weighs 54.57g (1.93 oz). It has no official stamps, but parallels are known from the second half of the 18th century. I have recorded it as the additional lead seems interesting.
