Refined vintage desk set consisting of a pendulum letter scale made in Germany (DRGM - Deutsches Reichsgebrauchsmuster marking) and a set of four solid brass metric weights.
The scale, dating back to the early 20th century, has a black lacquered metal structure with graduated scale and brass plate. The pendulum mechanism is original and perfectly preserved, maintaining the authentic patina of time which attests to its antiquity.
The lot is completed by a set of punched metric weights (1x500g, 1x200g, 2x100g). Note: the weights are from the contemporary era but, given the high weight, they are to be considered as a decorative complement and not suitable for technical use on the scale itself.
An ideal piece for collectors of scientific instruments or as a sculptural decorative element for studies, libraries and Dark Academia style environments.
