Vintage Portable Jewellers Scales (+Velvet box)

Offers welcome! Vintage collectable portable brass balance scale set in its original velvet-lined case. These types of scales are commonly used for weighing small, precise amounts of material, often associated with jewelry, gemstones, or apothecary use. The scale and weights are primarily made of brass. It comes in a hinged wooden case lined with a vibrant purple or blue/purple velvet, designed for portability and storage. The case can be used as the stand when the scale is assembled. The set typically includes a removable balance beam, two weighing pans with chains, a support rod, a set of brass weights (ranging from small milligrams to several grams), and a pair of tweezers for handling the smaller weights. Historically used by goldsmiths and apothecaries for precise measurements. As the pictures show great condition some age wear with all the accessories.
