Dutch Pharmacy weights
Pic 38
1 Libra
down to 1 grain. Some weights came later or from an other set. However, a
very rare to find set in anyway.

The
large Libra weight is knobbed and show
the text and some verification marks around the shoulder. The block weights
are conical and
are 6 / 3 / 1 / 1 Uncia + 4 + 2 Drachms.
The 1 / 1/2 Drachms + 2 / 1 + 1/2 Scruple are flat.
As last 5 grain fractional weights.
I think the 1/2 Drachms is from an later set.
Also the fractional weights look not from this set.
I am not sure about the 1 + 2 Scruple + 1 Drachms..
they maybe from this set, but as they show MORE marks they are maybe from an
much older set.
All others look original to this set.
However...
a original PERFECT set is not to get
so I was very happy to get this nice set a long time ago ;-) |
