Description
A pocket beam scale in a case, measuring 13.3 x 5.7 x 2 cm. The oval brown metal case has a brown velvet liner and spring clasp. The small hand scale has brass pans and a tassel on the metal holder. The case has been dented and chipped, and the clasp is broken. The item was donated by R.W. Brace, M.D., in October 1943. It was given to Dr. Brace by his father, Dr. F.R. Brace, who was a clergyman. It is said to have been used by Dr. Braces grandfather, who was sheriff of Harbour Grace, Newfoundland, and carried these scales with him.
