AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Green scale H 40 - W 66 - D 30 cm
This is an antique Roberval balance scale, recognizable by its cast-iron base with the raised inscription “FORCE TO KILO” (often referred to as a Force 10 Kilo scale). These types of mechanical counter scales were widely used from the late 19th century well into the 20th century in French and Belgian grocery stores, butcher shops, and market stalls to weigh goods.
The scale features a distinctive cast-iron base and two copper/brass pans: a flat pan for the loose weights and a deeper bowl for the items being weighed.
The scale has a beautiful, authentic patina. The mechanism still moves smoothly and is functional.

Includes the original 2 sets of iron weights in wooden blocks + one loose weight.
Large block = 30 cm wide, Small block = 14 cm wide
Please note that the smallest weights are missing.
