Remember this pic from 45cathttp://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h249/ks45/peggy-lee-records-1948.jpg Edited by privatecitizen on 22nd Jan 2013, 10:22 AM

Since I'm not metric, my scales only do pounds and ounces. A £ is the Parlophone trademark, and a 1930 Parlophone (without bag) weighs 8oz or half a £. As I'm so good at maffs, I just divided 1000 by 2 to get the answer.
