Caithness Floral Year (2000 version): March - Primrose.

Just a bit surprising that it doesn't seem to be marked.

Hi Wuff.  I had one a few years ago with no markings (could even be the same one, I suppose...). I think it came in a Caithness box, in a cloth bag?

I have seen quite a few copies of weights from the series - I guess Chinese, but cannot be sure; these would be unmarked. They all had fairly irregular bubble arrangements (other differences being more difficult to determine on often poor images) - which is why I am fairly sure the weight from kaz is genuine Caithness, just somehow escaping the marking. Just a rough guesstimate: 100'000 unlimited weights per year - makes some 400 per working day - there will always be the risk of a few slipping through.
