Unique vintage/antique piece--an English brass bell weight with official crown markings indicating that this is a weight that would have been used as a grocer's weight or at the apothecary to calibrate their scales. The lead crown mark has wear that makes the mark hard to read, but it appears to be ER, so I believe that this is likely to be from the reign of Elizabeth II, but potentially could be a bit older from Edward VI or VII.
In addition to the wear on the marking, there is also some superficial scratching on the weight itself. A unique gift or home decor piece!
