I am trying to identify this item. Is it weights for a scale? Any information would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Can anyone tell me what this is? |

Appears to be a dapping set. Normally there would be a steel block with the opposite shape.
"dapping sets and punches, and other shaping blocks help you create smooth curved and domed shapes with your metal. Dapping sets are often used with disks, but can be used to dome almost any metal shape."
Welcome to CW. Here's a link to a full set..

Hope to see you post more of your treasures..
Thank you Dave for the link and information. You were most helpful.
Perhaps hand made judging by the lack of uniformity of the cones below the ball from one piece to another. Still they had a lot more skill on the lathe than this kid!! :)
