AS ALWAYS ALL ITEMS ARE GUARANTEED TO YOUR SATISFACTION. A VIEWER'S Remarks: Dear waestates, The aircrews in China sometimes got to fly down to Rangoon, Burma where weights like this set could be found. square based beasts were issued 1785-1802, but not like this privately made set. correct weights would come in at 16, 32, 79, 158 and 316 grams, of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 kyats. I would assume you have an early 20th century made set. ref Earth to Heaven, The Royal Animal Shaped Weight of the Burmese Empire, by Donald and Joan Gear , plate 53, table 20, pp 208-209 and others.
