    BHP 60 ounce(1.70097kg) weight picked from another estate sale today. On the way home we saw a big cardboard sign, 'ESTATE SALE'. Always a good diversion, just wished I'd seen it earlier.
    Don't know how or where this was used originally, probably as a door stop at the house where I got it?
    At the market this morning I was informed by a knowledgeable fellow the 60 relates to the grade of the steel.

      They won't be making these anymore!
      Someone in Newcastle or Wollongong would probably love it.

      60, grade of steel may be it. Maybe a sample?
