Nested cup weights (7) - Bronze, Copper
A beautiful antique closing weight, also known as an arrow weight or house weight, consisting of a lockable holder with 6 interlocking weights. This ingenious system ensures that each part is twice as heavy as the smaller one that fits inside.
Material: Solid bronze, with a sturdy hinge and locking mechanism.
Operation: The jars are not used as containers but serve purely as weights.
Dating: End of the 19th century to the early 20th century.
The other 6 are scale weights.
