Pharmacy/apothecary/medical balance scales | Europe

First half of the 20th century | 3 x 9 x 11 cm (height x width x depth) | Brass and copper, wooden etue

Provenance: private pharmacy museum


Made of brass and copper, housed in a wooden case, the travel pharmacy scales were designed to be compact and easy to carry, allowing pharmacists or other professionals to weigh accurately on the go. Bowls and other accessories are safely stored in the velvet interior of the etue, which protects the scales from damage while ensuring that all components are together. These scales were an invaluable tool for accurately dispensing medications outside of a permanent pharmacy.

Bidders are asked to inquire about the condition of the item before the auction. any complaints will not be taken into account.
