Hi all,
As promised a week ago, here is a PY weight with a design that I had never seen before. I suspect it is pre-war Monart period and looks vaguely like a star.
Have you seen one before?

Yes. I have seen that very weight or a similar one. :)

Hi Kevin,
Ah, you may have seen it when it was for sale on a 'famous auction site' ;D...

Yes that was probably the case.
We cannot, as yet, prove various things about PY early work. However, this weight looks to me to be a test piece for what became the regular "Spoke" pattern weights; some of which I find somewhat "rustic" in appearance and others very atractive.
I find the bent "spoke" elements in this weight to be quite unattractive - but fascinating from an academic viewpoint.
