    Solid Brass Maco Braga 19th Century Serpentine Balance Scale in excellent working condition with almost all original weights. These scales where produced between 1880 - 1900 CA 1890 Portugal. Ca. 1890

    This scale was found in my parents attic when my Mother moved, after my Father passed away 1989. Mom says this was one of the items my Dad collected while working at Hamilton Army Base, Novato, CA. Dad worked as the caretaker and all around maintenace person. He was the person who was to clear and clean the housing units for the next tenants. So it anyone's guess exactly where this scale came from before my Dad owned it.

      Lovely serpentine scales, as an astrology buff can only think this would be a great gift for a Libra, or a lawyer of course! Sounds like your father had an very interesting job & found some cool things
