Title: faceted weight id required thanks
Post by: kieran on August 28, 2009, 11:39:37 PM

Hi, id needed for faceted weight  2 1/4 inches high  3 inches wide
in pic 4  there is a signature cane at approx 3 o'clock
it is the blue one l think i can make out 1950 on the side of the cane but not what is on top
the base is indented with a circular raised button
unfortunately there are 3 chips on it, but it looks like a well made weight
any info appreciated
thanks kieran

just been looking at the sig cane it could be a monk
so went to w/friars site and saw one similar
if it is w/f  is a 1950 cane early for there weights
the only thing is the weights ive seen on w/f site have different bases
any thoughts appreciated

Defo W/Fs the base looks spot on - made on a button  then clear dome put on  , :thup:weight  sometimes called Starfish .
