from www.apothecariesweights.com: A copy of Avery’s set 1221, quite common and seems to have been used in Household Medicine Kits. The manufacturer is unknown.
This set is unusual in that 4 Drachm and 1 Ounze weights are sometimes seen. Note the unusual spelling of ‘Ounze’.
They are often rather poorly made.
