Hi Roy
Yes! Typical specimen.
To be more precise, not quite Bohemian, though maybe it is mainly semantics. These weights are often called Bohemian, and generally date from the 1900 (+/- 20 year) period. But they are not strictly Bohemian, in the sense that weights from Carlsthal, Josephinhutte, Riedel, or Egermann might be called that. Weights like yours - which I think are attractive and collectable - are from the Silesia / Thuringia region, which might now be called Polish / German. When Peter Von Brackels's book on Bohemian weights is published (fairly soon) it should help us all.
Hope this helps rather than confuses!
