My first Opium Weight buy was a set of three H2C Ducks and a To1C. I got the lion because I liked it and the Mon Ducks because they actually looked like weights, smooth, round and utilitarian. Just recently I bought the T2 pictured with the middle duck, both 10 tical.

Over the couple of years since I've become increasingly fond of the ducks. They look good as a set. Even bad examples are difficult to find now. A local seller has a half dozen in stock in various sizes but they lack the worn patina which suits them best I think.
