About the Item
Henry Troemner Apothecary Cast Iron
Metal Balance Scale #1—Circa 1890s
This Henry Troemner balance scale #1 is a remarkable antique cast iron scale, likely manufactured between the late 1800s and early 1900s by Henry Troemner, a renowned German immigrant and scale maker in Philadelphia. Designed for apothecaries and pharmacies, this scale was used for precise weight measurements, relying on a balance mechanism that compares an unknown mass against a known mass.
Measuring 15 inches high, 28 inches wide, and 20.5 inches deep, this large and substantially weighted piece showcases both durability and craftsmanship. The cast iron and metal construction is indicative of the high-quality manufacturing of the era, making it not only a functional antique but also a striking decorative piece.
This balance scale has been exceptionally well cared for and remains in working condition, preserving its authentic patina and character. Whether displayed as a collector’s item, a historical artifact, or a unique statement piece in an office, home, or retail setting, this Troemner scale embodies the precision and artistry of 19th-century scientific instruments.
In excellent antique condition with minor wear consistent with age.
