This scale was made in Germany by Henry Boker sometime between the 1830s and 1880s. The scale is made of Iron and Brass. This Unique Spring “C” Balance or Mancur Scale Works like it should. Originally hunters and fur traders used it to weigh hides, but it was later used to weigh cotton bales and other products. The small hook can hold up to 40 pounds and the larger up to 360 pounds. A lightweight, yet sturdy favorite with Buffalo Hunters, Trappers, Trading Post and anyone else needing a compact scale. Measuring 10 1/2" X 6 1/2". This item show some wear due to age but remains in very nice condition overall and will make an excellent addition to your collection or gift.
