Kalinkr, thanks for setting up new threads for your weights and for providing larger images. But it would have been better to have one thread per weight to avoid confusion, as Christine originally pointed out. But for now, I think we can handle things reasonably well.
In the original thread (now locked) with all weights together, Christine said:
Welcome to the board. ...
The bottom middle one [Left one in above photo] is most likely Scottish and the bottom right is from Murano I think.
Following Chistine's comments, I said:
Christine is correct about the lower middle weight [Left one in above photo] being Scottish (either Vasart Ltd or Strathearn), but the lower right is also Scottish (Strathearn) not Murano. ... I suspect that the lower middle weight [Left one in above photo] might turn out to be a little more interesting than the usual regular production Vasart / Strathearn spoke pattern.
Can you please, add some comment about the base photo with the "yellow" circle in the middle. I am sure this is the base of the left-hand weight with the "spoke" pattern. Is the "yellow" actually a "crystalised" substance inserted into a recess? If so, then it very likely covers a medallion that was used in a set of company commissioned weights in 1959 and that would prove it to have been made in Vasart Ltd company (which later became Strathearn in 1964/5).
This 1959 information was discovered by one of the Board members and he wrote articles about it for the PCC Newsletter and the PCA Annual Bulletin.
