Lot 836: Antique Salter No. 81 T Spring Balance Scale and Iron Support Ring
An antique hanging spring balance scale, manufactured by Salter in England, designated as model No. 81 T. The instrument features a circular metal body with a glass-covered dial face. The dial is printed with a weighing scale ranging from 0 to 20 lbs, graduated in 1-ounce increments. Central inscriptions include No. 81 T., SALTER, TRADE MARK, SPRING BALANCE, and To Weigh 20 lb. by 1 oz. The maker’s trademark, a Stafford knot containing the name SALTER above ENGLAND, is positioned at the base of the dial. The lot includes the main balance unit, an iron hanging assembly with a hook, and a separate circular iron ring, likely intended as a support frame for a weighing basket.
