AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare English balance scale with copper weights.
This variant is rarely encountered.
Weights: 500 g, 200 g, another 200 g in a different form, 100 g, 50 g and 2 x 20 g.
W & T Avery Ltd was a leading British manufacturer of weighing equipment, scales and testing machines, known for its innovations in industrial and commercial weighing technology. The company, which began in 1730 as a small workshop in Birmingham, specialized in handmade scales and balance scales and developed under family ownership into a major industrial enterprise in the 19th century.
It played a crucial role in standardising weighing practices in agriculture, industry and trade, and its activities expanded worldwide before it was acquired by General Electric Company in 1979.
This lot has been carefully cleaned and will be packaged with care, sent by registered post and insured (with a Track & Trace code so you can follow the shipment). Pickup in (Ridderkerk- Zuid Holland) is also possible. I have tasty hand-ground coffee.
