Scale - Steel, Iron, Wood, Brass - English postal scale

This is a two-pan balance scale of a commercial or counter type, dating from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, used for weighing goods and products. The structure rests on a polished wooden base, inside which the weighing mechanism is housed. The arms, supports, and fulcrum system are made of iron or steel, while the pans and weights are in brass. The metal surfaces show engravings and a uniform patina due to use, which testifies to the historical and functional value of the instrument.
