This scale with a complete set of weights is a classic measuring instrument, ideal for education, laboratories, collectors, or scientific demonstrations. It works on the principle of a pan balance and is used to compare masses and understand fundamental concepts of physics.

This type of scale was commonly found in pharmacies, school laboratories, and educational institutions, where it was valued for its mechanical precision and durable construction.

Main features:
Type: mechanical pan balance scale
Function: comparing masses by balance
Educational use: ideal for demonstrating the principles of:
lever
moment (torque)
center of gravity
mechanical balance

Components included:
stable base
vertical support rod
horizontal balance arm
two removable pans
set of calibration weights
wooden box for storing weights

Precise design: low-friction pivot for accurate measurements
Balancing arm: equipped with equidistant holes for positioning the pans

Dimensions: approx. 50 × 28 × 50 cm (L × W × H)
Weight: approx. 6 kg

How to use:
The weights are placed on one pan and the object to be weighed on the other. Balance is achieved when the balance arm aligns horizontally, indicating that the masses are equal.

Recommended for:
schools and educational laboratories
physics and chemistry demonstrations
collectors of scientific instruments
vintage/academic-themed decor

Its classic appearance and solid construction gives it an authentic character, adding aesthetic value to any space.
