Description: | Cast lead trade weight, circular in plan and flat in profile, with the incised initials 'I H' on both faces. There are parallel oblique lines above and below the initials on one face and other marks on the opposite face which are hard to make out because of the scratches and damage to the surface.The weight weighs 61 grams which equates to 2.15 ounces avoirdupois or troy ounces or just under 2 troy ounces.Bailey (2011) illustrates a similar lead trade weight with the initials 'H C' above a line of oblique crescents on page 123, Pics.22a-b, which is dated to the Post-medieval period.
