I just uploaded a couple more pictures for you. I think the last one is the clearest of the markings. A lion, a cat with a crown, B, and a king's face.
Yes they have weighted bases

Thanks!
The lion, cat with crown, B and king's face denote London and the year of manufacture but there should be another mark that identifies the maker - is one present?
