Antique Late-Victorian Cylindrical Brass Pocket Spring Balance ScaleA genuine late-19th-century antique pocket scale, beautifully designed for ultimate portability.
This cylindrical style was standard field gear for Victorian fishermen, gamekeepers, and postal workers who needed a durable, compact tool that wouldn't catch on fabrics in a pocket.
Era: Late Victorian (Circa 1870–1900).
Excellent antique condition with a stunning, unpolished dark brass patina and minimal historical wear.
Fully operational with a smooth mechanical inner spring extension.
Features a solid brass cylinder body meticulously detailed with fine, hand-stamped linear measurement markings. It is accented with period-correct reeded brass end-caps and heavy, hand-forged iron hardware.
An exquisite piece of industrial history, perfect for curators of antique angling gear, militaria, or rustic farmhouse decor.
