The Vintage Pharmacist Balance weight set by The Torsion Balance Co of Clifton, NJ is a rare and valuable piece of antique scientific equipment. Manufactured before 1930, this set would have been used by pharmacists to accurately weigh and measure various substances in their work. The torsion balance design allows for precise measurements, making it a desirable tool for apothecaries and pharmaceutical professionals of that era.

This piece specifically came from a gentleman’s personal collection by the name of John Burkhart. He owned Burkhart Pharmacy in South Bend, In. from 1959-1969 with his wife. In 1969 they moved further south and the former Hans-Bergman Pharmacy became Hans-Burkhart Pharmacy. They operated that business until 1992. They were an anchor of the south side for 33 years serving the community and creating a family atmosphere for patrons and relatives alike. After closing their doors in March of 1992, John continued to serve as a pharmacist at Osco and K-mart until retiring in 2007 at the age of 83.
