ANTIQUE BRITISH POSTAL SCALE 1800'S with WEIGHTS and PROVENANCE NOTE

Description

From a local southwestern Pennsylvania estate, this is a wonderful ornate brass and wood British Postal Scale from the 1800's (based on price of postage).  The scale comes with 4 nested brass weights.  Also with it when purchased was a piece of paper taped to the top which reads "BRITISH POSTAGE SCALE ANTIQUE bot. Portobello Rd."  Apparently it was bought by someone on a trip to Britain as a souvenir.  Could use a cleaning but we are selling it as found as we don't want to ruin any patina.
The scale appears to be in excellent condition but we have not tested it for accuracy.  It is a very decorative piece and would look great in an office or library setting.
Measures 8-1/2" x 4-7/8" x 4-1/4" high.  Weighs 1 lb. 13 oz.
