Re: DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THIS IS PLEASE ?
Looks very much like a brass cup weight, used to measure gold and silver.
It could be very old. Some go back to 17th Centry ( 1600's)
Look after it and get it valued by an expert.Comment

Re: DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THIS IS PLEASE ?
They seem to come in various styles, usually continental.
Are there any markings on it?
Another one here went at Christies for nearly £500 in 2003.

Re: DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THIS IS PLEASE ?
It will be brass or could be bronze.
There should be weights marked in Oz's on the cups.
You need to look out an auction house near yo, or maybe your local museum will be able to guide you exactly.
My local museum was very helpful when I was a boy, identifying my William the Conqueror silver penny
