Candy
steelyard scale
Pic CNT 18
Very nice US candy
scale, made by Henry Troemer, Philadelphia. Brass lift-off scoop with
brass beam.
A slider show on the graduation the weigh of the load. The nice stand of
the beam and the stand of the sight hole are decorated cast iron. The base
is made of wood. The same kind of scale exist also as "Cannon ball
scale" which means that the beam has four round holes which hold a
ball as weight. The holes weigh for 1,2,3 or 4 lb and a little slider ball
show on a second graduation the onzes. I am happy to get a picture of the
"Cannon ball scale" from one collector who visit this side !
