A solid antique cast iron trade weight, marked “14 LB” in raised lettering within a red-painted circle. This piece dates from the late 19th to early 20th century, and would originally have been used with a balance or platform scale in a shop, farm, or market setting.

The rectangular block form with a sturdy fixed ring handle shows authentic age-related wear and traces of original red paint, giving it a wonderful industrial patina. A handsome decorative object with strong sculptural appeal — ideal for use as a doorstop, paperweight, or interior accent in rustic, industrial, or farmhouse-inspired décor.

Condition:
Excellent antique condition with age-related surface wear, minor pitting, and remnants of original paint, consistent with use.
