These faceted millefiori weights may be Vasart rather than Strathearn's as I purchased them but I can't tell just yet. Both have a top facet and 12 side facets as opposed to the usual top and five side facets that Strathearn usually used on their PSF72 and PSF82 Faceted millefiori cartwheel or spoke weights. The larger one has 9 spokes and a 1-1 design whereas the smaller one has 7 spokes and a 1-3-3 design. The small one has the #9 etched on the base. These might well be older trial pieces and maybe from the Vasart to Strathearn transition period.
