"Late 18th Century Coin Weighing Scale On A Disengageable Column."
A late 18th/early 19th-century coin weighing scale in a solid mahogany case with brass rods. It features a disengageable column system in turned bronze and a finely chased steel balance, brass cups, and silk threads. The weighing weights, cup-shaped batteries, and counterweights all appear to be present. The case has a crack across the width of the upper pan, and some brass inlay is missing from the sides.
