Thanks Gary. I have edited my earlier post and your following posts to make sense of things now that my error has been corrected.

Yes, that weight matches the base finishing on your Star pattern one and also Sophie's Dragonfly example. And it fits into my "wondered about" category of "definitely pre-1940s". But, as an extra thought I did not add previously ...

... my "pre-1940s" thought could apply to work by Salvador. But Paul may have continued to finish some of his weights made at Moncrieff's from 1946 in the same way.

no probs  kev, ive enclosed a picture taken from the base  through the concave pontil as canes are easier to make out with them not being domed like on the top  though second pics out of focus , I kinda was hoping it was a paul ysart pre 40s weight after all it cost a whopping tenner so I don't wanna feel to ripped off lol

Just for the record, matched canes all from items attributed to Salvador Ysart ...
