Standard trade weights (2) Antikvitet - Europa - 1900–1910

Antique Set of Professional Brass Weights in Handcrafted Wooden Blocks In excellent condition – No reserve. A Timeless Museum-Quality Piece This remarkable set of two antique wooden blocks with solid brass weights is a true eye-catcher for any collector of scientific instruments or industrial heritage. Sourced from a private collection, these items represent the heavy quality and precision of traditional trade tools. The warm patina of the brass combined with the deep tones of the seasoned hardwood makes this set a beautiful decorative and historical ensemble. Historical Context These weight sets date back to the late 19th or early 20th century, a period when the metric system was becoming the absolute standard in European trade and pharmacies. The smaller set features weights marked in "ons" (a traditional Dutch metric unit for 100 grams) and "gram," which places its origin likely in the Netherlands or Belgium. During this era, such sets were essential for merchants, apothecaries, and laboratories where precision was paramount. The craftsmanship required to create perfectly fitted wooden blocks was a point of pride for makers, ensuring the delicate brass weights remained protected and organized. This set is a museum-quality piece that captures the transition from artisanal trade to standardized industrial measurement. Dimensions and Details Large Block: 7 x 20 x 6.5 cm (h x w x d) Weight goes from: 50 g, 100 g, 200 g, 500 g, 1kg Small Block: 5.8 x 19 x 5 cm (h x w x d) Weight goes from: 50 g, 100 g, 100 g, 200 g, 500g Material: Solid Brass and Seasoned Hardwood Era: Late 19th / Early 20th Century Origin: Western Europe (Private Collection) Condition Both blocks and weights are in excellent condition – no cracks, no dents.

Each weight fits perfectly in its designated slot, reflecting the high manufacturing standards of the time.
