A fascinating and diverse collection of 19th-century scales and treen, scientific instruments. This historical ensemble features two distinct Victorian scales: two precision balances with brass pans and weights both housed in their own fitted wooden boxes.
 
Accompanying the instruments are a collection of rare personal Victorian items, including an intricately turned wooden needle holder, a small red-lacquered box, and an antique papier-mâché snuff box with a classical motif. This grouping forms a wonderful "collector's cabinet" time capsule.
 
Condition Report:
Very good antique condition for pieces of this age. The brass components maintain a beautiful, uncleaned period patina. The wooden cases show expected historical character and minor wear, and the scales remain structurally complete.
