Batch of 6 Flat-Circular Old Avoirdupois Weights.

Mixed batch of 6 flat circular weights from different periods and materials to demonstrate various verification stamps. The 8 and 4 oz weights were made of bronze during the reign period of King George IV (1820-1830) and prior to 1826. Both are verified with the London Guildhall 'dagger' and the Founders' Company 'ewer'. The symbol 'A' for avoirdupois and a royal crown over cipher 'G'. The 2 oz solid brass weight (with the letter S) was made during the reign period of Queen Victoria (1837-1901) and before the introduction of uniform numbered stamps in 1879. This is evident by the stamp of the local authority of the city of Kidderminster. Following the year 1879, a Victorian standard numbered mark was stamped on the weight with a royal crown over cipher VR and the number 224 for the city of Kidderminster. Later, the weight was verified again by the county of Southampton (cipher VR over number 560) and then rejected by an inspector 'H' with the rejection star.
