ANTIQUE CAST IRON COUNTER BALANCE MERCANTILE SCALE Original Patina ART DISPLAY

  

Please see and scan photos for details. Not sure how old it is but would give a broad estimate of 1850's-1920s. Unrestored original patina cast iron counter balanced scale. Looks as if it was once painted blue with a golden colored trim.

Awesome patina, great for use as an art piece / display piece. Not sure how accurate the scale is for use and would say it would need some minor servicing / adjustment to give it an accurate balance. From what I've seen on the web it is missing the two small tray bowls that sit on circular stands. You could easily a couple of cheap brass type trays / containers on the web and elsewhere to finish off the look if need be. Find Also there are no counter weights.
