Hi Geoff, Could you define trade weight for me as i may be using the wrong word, What i have found is a shop weight of the old type balance scales. Many thanks.

No your using the right term all right it's just the size of it, the vast majority that we find are up to 2oz max so one weighing a lb is a monster. is there a crown on it or anything resembling a coffee pot?

Yes it has a crown with IV under it and the letters G D to the side, It is rebased for other weights to stand on top of it.
