WM Ainsworth & Sons Analytical Balance
These old double-pan balances are simply beautiful. This scale has never graced a laboratory, so it has no corrosion, dark areas or pits, in the glass or metal. It was built by WM Ainsworth and sports a 24K gold chain and a movable counter weight to determine small differences in mass. Ainsworth even included manetic eddy current dampeners on both sides of the balance beam. For the money, this is an incredible value in construction and materials, to say the least of nostalgia.
