Solved! What are they? Apothecary Weights

[steelheadwill]

Now that I've found a second one, with similar erosion on corner,
I'm thinking they are more than just pieces of brass scrap
About 3/4" X 3/16" thick, edges beveled.
Anyone familiar? Thanks for Looking!

Re: What are they?

I agree with Cru, looks like a weight of measure?

Best of luck Herbie,

Thanks All!
the shape is similar to some that see. more common than the round '2 Scruple'
I found earlier.
This piece currently weighs 135 grains, maybe was 150 grain, which is exactly 7.5 scruples, before the erosion.
Green check these old bits as apothecary weights. HH
