The Roman steelyard scale is not quite ancient, it is "old" by US standards. It has two weight scales 0 - 20 and 0 - 100 (pounds I assume). The scale is the one with 4 hooks and it can be hung two ways to give different lever arms => different weight ranges. It is interesting that minimum weight the scale can measure is about 6 pounds, or about the weight of the cast bronze bar. The scale came in the box labeled FRAGILE. They had to mean the box was in fragile condition with the steel weight poking on both ends. The scale is farmyard stout.</p><p>The neatest item on the pile is a box of Christmas torts!</p><p>Our dog was interested in the smells from Germany, Italy and Maine.</p><p>[ATTACH]706566[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH]706567[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
