Hectograms (hg)
Definition
A hectogram (hg) is a metric unit of mass equal to 100 grams or one tenth of a kilogram.
History
The hectogram is part of the metric prefix system. It has found particular popularity in Italian food culture for measuring deli meats, cheeses, and vegetables.
Current use
Hectograms (known as 'etti' in Italian) are commonly used in Italy for food purchases at markets and delis. They occasionally appear in some other European and South American countries for food labeling.

A stone (st) is an imperial unit of mass equal to 14 pounds or approximately 6.35029 kilograms.
History
The stone has been used as a weight measure in England and Ireland since at least the 14th century. Different commodities historically used different stone weights; the 14-pound stone was standardized in 1835 by the British Weights and Measures Act.
