Vintage Brass & Wood Postage Prescription Scale Made in Germany w/ Weight Set

Vintage Brass & Wood Postage / Prescription Scale Made in Germany w/ Original Weight Set. 8 Weights of various sizes are included. The round ones are marked Germany and the flat ones are marked in drams. One of the weights fits snugly into one of the holes, but the other two holes do not have fitting weights. This is a vintage German-made balance scale, likely used in a laboratory or apothecary setting. Here are some details based on its design: Type: Double-pan balance scale with a sliding weight adjustment bar. Material: The pans appear to be brass or brass-plated, while the base is made of wood with inset areas to hold additional weights. Construction: The scale has a sliding weight adjustment bar marked in increments, allowing precise adjustments. This is typical of older precision scales used for measuring small quantities with high accuracy. Marking: The only marking, "Made in Germany," suggests it was manufactured sometime after the early 20th century, as "Made in" markings became common during this period. Historical Context: German-made balance scales were highly regarded for their quality and precision, and scales of this type were commonly used in pharmacies, laboratories, and schools for educational purposes. In good condition. The only issue is that the green felts are a bit dirty and could be replaced should you want a cleaner look.
