Constructed with a robust metal frame and featuring a graduated arm, this scale was designed for precise measurements in a laboratory or scientific setting. The scale includes a brass pan suspended from a delicate arm, and a sliding counterweight for calibration, showcasing the quality craftsmanship of the era.
