Morbier Clock, 'Marciac'. Weights.

Hello, weights quickly addressed today.

Wire brush taken to both of them and then a quick coat of Hammerite. New hooks attached to the top of each for the rope.
One thing i noted was what appears to be the Roman numeral VIIII on the top on one of the weights. (My picture is not very good but it is clear on the weight). I presume this relates to lb and not kilos as the weight is not that heavy.
This helps date the clock, as best one can! To pre-1840 as that was when France re-introduced the metric system. So VIIII French pounds comes to 3.6 to 4.4 kilos depending on where they were cast in the country at the time!  I do not have a scale accurate enough to weigh them at this time.
