This is a scale to weigh gold sovereigns and half sovereigns. They were made in the mid-19^th century. You placed the gold coin in the appropriate spot and if the scale balanced then the coin was real. If it did not balance then you knew the coin was a fake.

Measures approximately 4” long. Hinged brass scale is stamped with crowns and “SOVEREINE / WARRANTED” in two places. From the collection of author/publisher Dean Thomas.  [jet][ph:L]
