Thanks John, there is hope for me yet.   ;) Will still try and stay away from this area as there is just too much to learn and my brain  storage capacity is more floppy disc than memory stick ! I will hopefully recover the cost of the 5 (2 more to ask about but not too hopeful) I was bid out of the lots I really wanted and this was my last bid. It s a side of me at auctions I should control  ;D

Hi. Certainly Murano, and I think it dates to the 1950s-1970s.

Thanks Alan, didn't think it would take long on here for an id on the weights but still it was very quick. Much appreciated.
Pete. :-)
