This is a Victorian cast-iron 2oz weight - unusual in that most non-domestic 2oz weights are brass (the Board of Trade regulations 1907, states 'No iron weight under 4oz shall be stamped'). It carries a central copper plug with the name 'Hull', and three crowns (the badge of the city of Hull). The weight is 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
