This is a lovely small apothecary beam scale made in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the 1800's.
This scale was made by Henry Troemner and patented on February 18, 1877.
The scale has the original hand painted finish and has a small set of calibrated solid brass weights mounted on the block in the front of the scale.
Born in 1809, Henry Troemner was a German-American entrepreneur. He started the Henry Troemner Company, known today as Troemner Inc.
The company produced balances and scales. Troemner immigrated to the United States in 1832 and settled initially in New York City, then, by 1843, Philadelphia.
He was and is still well known for his calibrated scale weights.
A wonderful addition to any collector of scales and beautiful sitting on a desk.
