Classic iron steelyard mounted on a rectangular base holding a wooden pillar terminating in a bracket-shaped arm. The support is probably a later addition. The counterpoise is missing. There are two hooks for weighing commodities using different capacity ranges. The square-shaped rod is graduated on all sides with several scales. A special curved metal rod, attached to the top of the bracket, keeps the longer arm horizontal when the steelyard is at rest. Provenance: Lorraine collections.
