AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Analytical balance in polished brass - complete set.
Splendid example of an equal-arm balance in Mid-Century style, dating from the 1960s/70s.
The instrument is made entirely of solid brass and is mounted on a detachable column.
It is presented in its original rigid blue velvet case.
Included accessories:
Brass weights set: Full series (G.M. stamp) from 1 g to 50 g.
Millesimal series: Set of aluminum foil weights for gram fractions (half-grams).
Accessories: Original tweezers for handling the weights.
The balance has been carefully preserved and is aesthetically in excellent condition, with the natural patina of time that attests to its authenticity.
