The counterweight side of the beam is inscribed with the image of a crown and the words B. CATTLE. CATTLE'S PATENT is inscribed on the base. The second item is a slightly smaller sovereign rocker, with a crown inscribed on the counterweight and two narrow oblong pans on the other side of the beam inscribed for a sovereign or half sovereign. The base has T.S. inscribed in the center, with SOVEREIGN above and WARRANTED below.

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
