Antique Sovereign Scale in Brass.

The Sovereign in the pictures is not included in the sale, it's there to demonstrate how it works only. I do usually have a range of Sovereigns available for purchase.

Unsigned Brass Sovereign/Half Sovereign Scale. Marked as crown warranted, but I'm sure it wouldn't stand up to that now.

These types of scale were from a simpler time where replica's and fakes of the world's premier gold coin were easier to spot.

This scale incorporates a thickness (slot) check as well as diameter (recess) and finally weight. The theory was if the coin was the right thickness, diameter and tipped the scale, you're good to go. Unfortunately it's not quite as simple today.

This is not suitable for checking/trading today. This is being sold as a collectible item.
