That seal looks lovely - that two on here in as many weeks.

Is there much to see of the legend - can you work out the lettering. I think they normally start with the legend after a stylised star or pellet.

What a great day - well done.

I think the seal is a very crudely rendered example of this one from PAS. I've adjusted yours to be the right way up.

The inscription I think reads ALAS BOWLES, said to be a hunting cry.

On the weight, I can only see an A in your picture, not a crown.

If the A is definitely crowned, then it is Queen Anne period. if an A alone, this will indicate averdepois, indicating the system of weights.

You would usually expect to see other marks as well - are there definitely none there?
