Description

Antique Cast Iron 1 lb Balance Scale – Marked "4", Brass Beam

This antique cast iron balance scale features a classic dual-pan design and a brass beam calibrated for up to 1 pound. Marked with the number “4”, it reflects early 20th-century utilitarian craftsmanship—perfect for display or collection.

Constructed entirely from iron with a worn black finish, the scale is accented by a brass ruler-style beam and a hanging cast iron counterweight. The aged surface patina, exposed metal, and oxidation enhance its authentic vintage appeal. Compact yet visually striking, it’s ideal as a decorative piece for farmhouse, apothecary, or industrial-themed interiors.


Condition

Good condition overall, with visible surface rust, finish loss, and oxidation throughout, consistent with age. Fully intact and tested for balance, though better suited now for display. Wear is age-appropriate and contributes to the piece’s vintage character.
