Can anyone suggest where I might obtain a hexagonal tuning key for a Brinsmead Top-Tuner?

Thank, that is very kind of you, but I will have to guess the amount for the stamps by weighing a fairly similar object.

there is a weight calculator (converter) on ebay if interested.
Roughly - if a small 55g parcel = about £3 if a large letter = about £2 - £2.50 .... 2nd class.
