The cheese press weight has been here on our farm for at least the last 4 generations, and was originally used as the weight block on a wooden framed cheese press by my great aunt. The ong>stoneong> block is 22 inches tall, 24 inches wide and 20 inches deep. We estimate it to weigh in the region of around half a tonne (10 cwt or 500kg). The circular antique copper bowl is 35 inches diameter and approximately 6.5 inches in depth. It has a weathered patina that has come about after being exposed to the elements for many years. It would polish up to a bright new copper finish, but it seems a shame to spoil what nature has taken many years to achieve. It is Offered for sale near Garstang in Lancashire as a collection only item, due to its size and weight.We can load it onto a trailer ect with a forklift. This would make a great feature either inside in a conservatory or vestibule, or outside in a garden.
