Early 20th Century French Laboratory Scale

About the Item

Housed in a wooden and glass vitrine, this small scale was once used for precision measurements.

The pride in its craftsmanship is revealed by a prominent metal name plate indicating the place where this scale was produced or used, ‘Dépôt de Marseille.’
