This stunning piece of history - an antique balance scale - is from the renowned Howe Scale Company based in Rutland, Vermont. This exquisite scale is a testament to the craftsmanship of the late 19th to early 20th century. The base and the body are made of robust cast iron, painted in a striking red that has aged gracefully to reveal a charming patina indicative of its rich past. The arm and its counterweight boast solid brass construction, showcasing an appealing contrast against the red iron.
The scale features intricate details that highlight its antique character, including the Howe Scale Co branding and ornate design elements. Measuring 10" x 5" x 3.75", it stands as not only a functional apparatus but also as a decorative piece that could grace any collection or serve as an eye-catching accent in your home or office. |
