​This amazing set of weights are an Auction highlight. These are the Official Compliance Weights of the Colony of NSW from 1850. They range in size up to the massive 56lb avoir which converts to 25.4kg. They were used by the NSW Government ro check the weights of merchants and traders to ensure they weren't cheating their customers. An important item of Australia's colonial history.
