Celebrate one of America’s most iconic historical eras with this beautifully crafted Franklin Mint 150th Anniversary Gold Rush Balance Scale, an elegant decorative reproduction of a classic California Gold Rush assayer’s balance.
Expertly crafted with solid brass components, warm copper-tone columns, a richly veined green marble base, and a mahogany-finished wood display platform, this piece captures the appearance of the precision scales once used by gold assayers during the California Gold Rush.
The scale includes its original set of five brass counterweights and remains an impressive display piece for libraries, offices, studies, executive desks, Western collections, mining memorabilia collections, or traditional interiors.
Its architectural proportions and museum-inspired design make it equally attractive as a conversation piece or historical décor object.
This is a decorative collectible and is being offered primarily as a display piece.
