всю фразу я бы перевела как "Russian one pound nesting weights" или "one pound Russian nesting weights"

: With the inclusion of "set," as in the example you showed - "one-pound nesting weight set" or "one-funt," I suppose; one way or another probably a parenthetical note or footnote on "фунт" will be needed.

David Knowles
: I would definitely put "nested" rather than "nesting", which sounds odd to me (though I can't see it's "wrong"!) Rachel's idea of "set" is definitely helpful.//Extra thought: "stacking set".

: This is where my "nesting" analogy came from: from matryoshka dolls.
