AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Rare, including the original wooden case, it is complete and in very good condition.

Corn scale (grain)
The corn scales (corn tester, Scheffelwaagen, grain tester, grain scales) in use since the 18th century were not for measuring fixed quantities of grain, but to test their quality and remaining moisture.

Displayed the bulk density for various grains. Operating instructions can be found on the internet.

Bulk density wooden box HL W-3970 dimensions approx. L33.5 x W14 x H13 cm

Small wooden box for brass weights dimensions approx. L13.5 x W6.5 x H3.5 cm,

All brass knob weights (except the smallest weights 50g, 10g, 5g) bear official calibration and revision stamps, attesting to professional origin and historical authenticity.

It may also be that a small weight is missing. There is a free space in the weight box on both sides? The box contains 3 additional brass weights.

Special features
- Several official calibration and inspection stamps on the weights.
- The calibration and master stamps attest to professional use in commerce.
- Beautiful patina, appropriate to the age.
- Fully functional and complete.
- Rare decigram and gram weights available.
- Collectible item for enthusiasts of historical measuring instruments, antiques, or the history of science.

This rare original item from the pre-1945 era testifies to traditional craftsmanship and is a must for any serious collection.

A brass-colored jewel that should not be missing from any display case and tells a unique story.

Please refer to all photos for condition and further information.
