MIXED LOTS. Set of Brass and Copper Tael Weights (23 Pieces), ND. Average Grade: FINE.
A group of weight with sycee, rectangular, and round shapes. From what appear to be a number of different weight standards, with differing calligraphic styles. However, all approximate multiples or fractions of Tael. Four pieces have loops attached. The two largest weights are approximately 20 Tael, followed by a group of 10 and 9.5 Tael (6), 5 Tael (5), 4 Tael (4), 3 Tael (4), and 2 Tael (2). Two pieces are clearly Japanese (Edo Era), with one 10 Tael engraved in a manner very similar to the example appearing in the Catalogue for the Japanese Coin Collection (pre-Meiji) at the British Museum (item #977). SOLD AS IS/NO RETURNS.
Estimate: $500.00- $1000.00

黃銅及銅錠一組。二十三枚。
一組不同重量的錠，形狀為矩形或圓形。重量標準不同，書寫風格亦不同。但均為"兩"的倍數或分數。其中四枚有環。最重的兩枚約為20兩，其次為6枚10兩及9.5兩，5枚5兩，4枚4兩，4枚3兩，2枚2兩。有兩枚顯然為日本製，其中一枚與大英博物館的日本硬幣收藏目錄（明治時期前）中，收錄的編號#977者非常相似。 現況出售，概不退換。 On September 1, 2019, the United States enacted new tariffs on collector's items manufactured in China.
