Antique hanging steelyard balance scale with a long graduated iron beam, sliding balance mechanism and three graduated hanging weights. The double sided beam carries different scales, including a reverse scale counting down from 100, indicating a multi range weighing system. We used Ai to simulate what it would look like hanging from a wall - we don't have the bracket that it's hanging from in the 2nd picture.
