Charming...especially the young lady, Ru Crepuscule!
WOW! There is a whole lot to like in both of your comments...Thanks! I am very much enlightened an' far better informed, an' most grateful for it all!
So there is not/was not any equivalency between the currency, whether coin or banknote, an' an actual pound of sterling by whatever weight?
Yes, I have examples of the plug type, with marks. I understand the concept. First, the weight is only 0.4 Grams off...an' over, at that. What...
What was the actual weight of the 'pound' in Pound Sterling? I believe silver, in Troy measure, is 12 Troy ounces, not 16, as in Avoirdupois.
That seal is in fact a formed plug; a closed end cylinder ~0.200" deep with an ~1/8" flange that has about 120 degrees of its circumference...
It occurs to me that perhaps at one time an (English?) pound was equal to 500G...as in, among other possibilities, Pound Sterling?
It's ~1 5/8" diameter, ~1 13/16" high to the shoulder.The 'seal', which is unmarked, may just be a plug; it doesn't rattle like it would if it had...
Thank you, Bosko an' Taupou!
Wot's a 'firing glass'?
The knob looks bigger than the bell. A schoolmarm would'a had to have a large fist, to wield that! What are the assorted dimensions, Marote?
What about it makes it a 'Corn Husk' bag? Is it the patterns, or the materials...or was that the purpose of that size an' style; to store the husks?
Yummy...regardless of origin!
Looks orange...is that an accurate color image? Nice pieces!
Sweet an' Fine...Thanks!
Snake basket; India?
Kudos on your pictures, Marote!
The Chinese have a saying; Wisdom begins with calling things by their proper name.
~10 1/2" high, ~8 3/4" rim diameter; weighs 7 lb 6 oz. UV reactive in an unusual way; it gets a bit darker. The pontil shows only as a ~2" circle...
Ahh...the endless ripples of hatred-conflict. How deeply sad.
