The weight is 2.6″ in diameter and 2.0″ tall, and aside from normal shelf wear on the basal ring, is in pristine condition. General edition Perthshire weights are not dated. The PP4 was made from 1969 to 1994. The base was star cut from 1969 – 1971, and colored grounds were used in 1993 and 1994. This dates the weight to sometime between 1972 and 1992.
