nicenhandy New Member United Kingdom 6 Posts	Posted 04/08/2011 4:01 pm Hi Alex, the VIII that you quote could only be one of two Kings either HENRY VIII or EDWARD VIII , as far as what it is we need a little more information ie ... size for one and type of metal if possible.

The piece looks too old to have been made circa 1936. I think it would be awesome to have something that King Henry VIII may have had in his possession at one time. I hope you can find out more on this piece, I am very intrigued. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21789 Posts	Posted 04/08/2011 9:54 pm It looks more like a small scales weight to me, especially with what looks like to be small weight adjustment drill holes. Have a look closely. Do those holes appear to be lead filled? Report this Post to the Staff
Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2927 Posts	Posted 04/09/2011 01:23 am I think it looks like a check token - something that was used to count people in and out of mines in the 1970's and back.
