Glenn Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Can you provide any details, such as where they were found, used, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Yeah, where were they found, what Kind of place, any clues on how old they might be, are they the same weight or all different, are they all marked the same? As a quick guess maybe hand forged cuckoo clock weights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Dwyer Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 (edited) A friend found them in an auction lot of nautical stuff. Looks like they're trade weights. Folks have surmised they may have ended up being used (once upon a time) to weight fishing nets or duck decoys though.

Daswulf Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Thats a possiblity. Sorry when I asked about different weights I hadn't had enough coffee and just scrolled back to the last two photos in that thinking. Clearly in the first photo it shows them as different sizes. Your link looks like a good clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Weights for decoys, fishing line, or fishing nets are functional suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
