Description
Antique British Beam Scale. This is a simple, equal-arm beam scale, maker unknown, with a rectangular box base including a drawer. It is in original, good condition. The drawer has two circular recesses for weights and chain, and comes with an extra length of chain plus one 15 dwt. weight. The screw-mounted balance mechanism is brass with an iron crossbeam, and it shows a light coat of rust on the beam plus a few areas of discoloration on the brass components. Its box base is rudimentary in construction and joinery, with some cracks, splits, and old repairs. The base measures approximately 11.8 x 5.7 x 4 inches, while the metal scale is an additional 10 inches tall. Each brass pan measures approximately 4.3 inches in diameter.Ex: Eric P.

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.
