Now, that the auction is over: who made this weight? There is a signature cane in the base (last image) I'm not sure about.
Any comments welcome - Wolf

That's A 'W' signature cane. Francis Dyer Whittemore made that crimp rose.
-
Thank you very much, Mark - it needs a fair amount of imagination and the eye of a crimp rose expert to recognise the W :). But if you compare it with Whittemore-3 and -5 in Andy Dohan's book, it looks plausible :thup:.

Looks more like and upside-down "PL" for Pete Lewis.
-
I agree. It is a 'PL' signature cane. I should have looked more closely.
-
So thats a Peter Lewis weight, OK. What does anyone think of this rose irrespective of where it was made?

At first glance (And no, I'm not going to simply glance this time :), this one might be dismissed as a piece of modern Chi.
I don't think it is but would benefit from side & basal views as well as what the dimensions are.

Well, I believe it to be modern chinese, I was only commenting on the construction of the rose itself and comparing it with other western formations of a rose. It wasn't much money and quite nicely made. Diameter 2.65 inches. Roger.
