Description
19th-Century Precision Balance Scale. This glass, wood and metal scale was produced by Becker & Sons of "New-York". We believe it dates from the 1850-1880 period. It measures 19" wide, 9" deep and 14" tall. It has all its original components, a sheet with instructions for "Setting Up Balance" (toned with some loss),a box of diamond weights and a roll of copper foil. It is being sold together with a wooden, hinged case containing eight brass counterweights ranging in size from 5 g. to 20 Dk. The scale was likely used to weight diamonds, gems, gold and precious metals.Shipping, Taxes, Terms and Bidding

As for Heritage's online system… Yes the interface is more complex than what we are used to with SAN but what is behind that interface is amazing for sellers and buyers alike. It is real time and for a real serious auction buyer there is nothing better in the auction industry, bar none.
