Description
A rare George I leaded bronze 14lb wool weight
Circa 1714-1727
Cast with the Royal Arms, between Royal Supporters and beneath the initials GR, the margin struck 'A' twice, with the dagger mark for London, a crowned 'G' device, and twice with a ewer, with slot for hanging and with circular concave back, 11cm wide, 4.2cm deep, 17cm high (4in wide, 1 1/2in deep, 6 1/2in high)
Footnotes:
Literature: See Herbert C. Dent, Old English Bronze Wool-Weights (1927), p. 16, where it is noted that '14lb. wool-weights are exceedingly scarce as compared with the 7lbs., and were probably reserved for use in the big wool centres'.
