Antique W & T Avery Scale

Single beam counter scale probably used for weighing candies or spice, utilizing the Roberval system. A Roberval scale is an equal-arm beam with the pans above the beam. The pans are stabilized by a leg and stay underneath the beam. The principle was invented by a French mathematician, Gilles Personne de Roberval, in 1669.
