Balance Scales

This is a collection of vintage brass balance scales, featuring a delicate butterfly mask alongside. The scales are constructed from brass, exhibiting a warm, aged patina. The butterfly mask is intricately detailed, suggesting a theatrical or decorative purpose. These items likely date from the early to mid 20th century, reflecting a period of craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Condition

The scales and mask show signs of age and use, with some wear to the brass and minor imperfections. The butterfly mask appears fragile and may require careful handling. Despite these signs of wear, the items retain their charm and character, making them desirable for collectors of antique scientific instruments or theatrical memorabilia. The scales are a unique piece for display or as part of a larger collection.
