Large English Victorian Mahogany Brass & Postal or Letter Scale by Avery C.1880

19th century
Sold by Puckerings
Description

A really wonderful example of an antique desk-top letter or postal scale dating to the Victorian era, around 1880.

Made by the very famous Avery, a company founded in the early 18th century and took the name W & T Avery in 1818.

The base is made from a solid piece of polished Mahogany standing on four original bun feet. The brass scale is signed Avery and "Warranted Accurate".

The scale comes with a stunning stack of solid brass weights, the bottom one shaped to neatly fit into the base, the others stack on top neatly. Each is marked with the V R mark either side of a crown for Victoria Regina, a true Victorian set, they are also signed "Sheffield".

Excellent condition, the base measuring 10" x 6" x 5 3/4" tall. Letter shown not included.
