I didn't make it, it was

I didn't make it, it was given to me, but it sure is a lovely piece of work, isn't it? I have another couple I'll try to post, too. All antiques from Europe.

This one has a particular grace to the pointer arm and I especially appreciate how the maker did the markings between the 5-kilo marks. Stepping those dots diagonally, instead of putting the side by side, allows them to be read much easier. Clever!

scale - fullscale - full Here's a full picture of it that shows the graceful hooks, too.   This was made by someone with an eye for detail and aesthetics as well as being a master craftsman.
