Description :

A well‑preserved collection of early laboratory equipment, featuring a classic analytical balance housed in a wood‑and‑glass case along with multiple sets of precision calibration weights. The balance includes its original metal beam, pans, and adjustment mechanisms, and carries an identification plate marked “Oregon State College No. 10078,” indicating institutional provenance and mid‑20th‑century academic use.

Accompanying the balance are several wooden cases containing assorted brass and metal weights in fitted velvet‑lined compartments. The sets vary in completeness and configuration, with many original tools and accessories present. Together, the group reflects the craftsmanship and engineering of historical scientific instrumentation.

A strong lot for collectors of vintage laboratory apparatus, educational science history, or decorative scientific display. The balance and weight sets show age‑appropriate wear consistent with long‑term academic use, with components appearing intact and well cared for.

Please note: Sold in as-found condition, as relics. Units may not have complete hardware, accessories, and trim. Any other parts accessories may be available on site in the pickers sale.
Dimensions : 15 in L x 11 in W x 21.5 in H
