Pic ASIAN 6
Very nice and slim wooden case ( 13" long ) in form of a violin. On the top of the lid is a little mark which was insert with little brass nails. The little ring which normal close this case is lost. The ivory beam is 12" long and hold a brass load pan on cotton strings. This set include a rarer to find two in one weight. The little weight for the first measure way, look like a nail and can be insert into the larger weight. Both together are in use for the second weighing way.
