Description
Brass scales with two pans suspended by green cord and with dark pink tassels. The steel beam is of rectangular and pentagonal sections, with a flat pierced pointer and swan-neck ends. The brass pendant is probably a working replacement. Brass pans are suspended by bright green cords with dark pink tassels.
The fruit CFS box has wire hinges and a tooled pattern of asterisks on the lid. Inside, there are two round weights wells, and a square locker for grain weights. The sliding locker lid is missing. The scale recess is lined with blue plush.
