-Henry Troemner immigrated to the United States in 1832 and settled initially in New York City, then, by 1843, Philadelphia. He began making scales and weights in a partnership in 1840, and then established his own company in 1844.
-This scale is a great example of his work. Ornate wood case and brass hardware give this scale a wonderful look. Has a marble top. The hinge on the back left side has pulled loose. Case has age and wear on the exterior. Knicks and wear. Leveling screw feet on the right side.
-Beautiful early scale that is not easy to find. It would make a beautiful decorative piece!
