Antique Brass Tubular Spring Balance Scale | Hanging Pocket Fish & Farm Scale

Bring authentic 19th-century mercantile charm into your space with this antique brass tubular spring balance scale.

The piece features a solid brass cylindrical body mounted onto a riveted brass backplate, complete with a top hanging loop ring and a heavy lower iron S-hook for securing items.
