[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 2634, member: 25"][I]I can't remember -- is a stone 12 lbs?[/I] A stone is 14 pounds, which is why I think it is simply a run of the mill scale weight, although no doubt it could be used for all manner of other purposes. A rolled newspaper is still just a newspaper even if used as a fly swatter. This is just a weight. Made for weighing stuff. What it might have become later is just speculation.[/QUOTE]
