Title: Opium Weight from Burma. Valuable?
Post by: myracles103 on September 30, 2013, 12:48:17 PM

I bought this in Burma close to 40 years ago and just found it after I believed it was lost forever!

I see that some have sold for $600+, but am not sure what makes them valuable. Any further information would be much appreciated. It is very small, standing 1.5" tall and weighs 3oz.
