Spectacular show piece! Extra Rare!!! This was either a lab or gold scale. 27.5 x 34 x 14". Plaque with number "A58414" on the right and "Appraisal / D127 / Number" on the left. Christian Becker followed Troemner in making scales about 10 years later. Christopher Becker's introduced his first analytical balances in 1855. Becker was one of ten balance manufacturers to begin making assay balances in the United States. The Becker companies contributed to the development of not only the assay balance, but also to the analytical balance, the bullion balance, as well as other specialized and general scales and balances. This is a two drawer model - very rare for Becker. Balance inside scale says Christian Becker, Successor to "Becker & Sons and Becker Bros. New York." Very Fragile, requires special handling and shipping. Recommend local pickup. Date: 1895-1915 Location: HWAC # 42833
