Manufactured by The Torsion Balance Co., this style 269 scale is a great addition to any collection. Used by Jewelers to weigh gold and silver, and for apothecary/pharmaceutical use. This brass and glass, intricately designed unit was manufactured between 1920- 1930. Beautiful well preserved condition overall. This Torsion Balance Co. scale is truly a piece of art. Its historical significance and unique characteristics make it a must-have for antique collectors and enthusiasts. The nicest example of this highly collectible and rare torsion balance scale I have seen. Price is firm for this rare/ exceptional piece.
