Yes as long as the lettering matches that of a pre-USA York Roundhead. Legacy York Roundheads had different lettering. 
 

I mainly collect/use letter side blobs for this reason. It’s definitive proof of either USA or pre-USA. Number side gets questionable. 

I'm coming across two distinct looks...at least as far as pictures are concerned.  Take a look at the first attached pic.  It's black and definitely has some level of fine texture to it.  It's not one of mine, but is a representation of what I do have.  I'm also coming across blobs that look like the second pic.  These appear to be brass-like in color and have a smooth, almost polished surface.  At least that's what I'm getting from the various pics I've seen.  These two pics are from York, pre-USA blobs from 55 lb dumbbells.  

Why the difference in color and texture?

Probably marks from the mold.
