Lot information
Brass scales were often used in pharmacies where precision was essential for the preparation of medicines, whether it was weighing raw materials for ointments, powders or other pharmaceutical preparations. Materials were commonly chosen for their stability and non-interactive properties with chemicals that might be weighed. The bowls are suspended on ropes, which ensures their balance and accuracy during weighing. Pharmacy scales were intended for weighing smaller amounts of substances, which corresponds to the delicacy and precision required by pharmaceutical practice.
