    18th Century Scale Quartet. Very Good to Fine. An important offering of 18th century European coin scales. An iron and brass scale and three weights are housed in a rectangular wooden box with rounded ends, measuring 6.7 x 2.3 x 0.9 inches, with a decorative lid marred by residue at the left end. The clasps on this box are broken. An early 18th century scale is housed in a wooden box measuring 4.1 x 2.3 x 0.7 inches. This interesting scale has one round pan and one triangular pan, and has six accompanying coin weights, three with images. The third scale in this quartet is iron and brass, with nine accompanying coin weights. A chart inside the lid is faded and water stained, with a translation in Eric P. Newman's hand. The fourth scale is French, with a soiled orange leather covering and plush interior, housing a brass scale, three Louis d'or weights, and two ducat weights, suggesting a late 18th century-production.
