Description
W & T Avery Scale, Birmingham, England and an Unknown Vintage Apothecary Scale, also English in Origin. Fine to Very Fine. The W & T. Avery scale has its original yellow label on the inside of the lid and Catherine E. Bullowa's receipt of purchase from 46 years ago, when Eric P. Newman purchased it for $27. Housed in a rectangular wooden case measuring 7.3 x 4.6 x 1.7 inches, the all-brass balance and pans are in excellent used condition with green string for the pans. Thirteen assorted weights are included in the square, uncovered compartment within the case, which has velvet lining on the bottom. The second scale has a slight camelback curve to the case lid with two areas of old restoration where the top was marred. The wooden case measures 6.8 x 3.3 x 1 inches. Inside, the velvet tray is framed by tin beading. The iron balance is in choice used condition, with green string to suspend the brass pans. A brass-covered compartment houses a full set of apothecary weights, plus a few extras.Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.

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.
