Product description
Lot: vintage mechanical tabletop balance scale — heavy metal base with painted red beam, right-hand brass-coloured bowl and left flat platform plus a stacked set of cast-iron calibration weights and pointer. Strong visual character: bright red beam, decorative pointer frame, original weights and two-pan layout all present. Surfaces show age-appropriate patina and paint loss but the whole unit presents very well as a display or working trade scale.
Practical uses: a great find for collectors, vintage-shop display, market stall or café counter where period looks matter. Also suited for prop work, photographic shoots or restoration projects that need an authentic, mechanical weighing centrepiece. The included cast weights make it immediately usable for demonstration, retail or decorative use.
- Included: one mechanical tabletop balance scale, right-hand bowl pan, left flat platform and a stacked set of cast iron weights (multiple pieces).
- Condition: used vintage condition — cosmetic wear, paint chips to red beam and fasteners, light surface corrosion/patina to weights and some metal surfaces, scratches and scuffs to base and pans. No maker mark visible.
- Measurements: not supplied.
- Working status: Declared by warehouse as 100% working and complete (balances and holds zero when checked).
- Known faults: paint loss and chips on beam and fixings, surface corrosion/patina on weights, light scratches/scuffs on base and pans; decorative wear consistent with age.
