Small Russian Double Precision Balance Scale, 1950s

About This Piece

Vintage Design

This vintage Russian double precision balance scale in a small size was produced in the 1950s. It was sourced from the VEF factory in Western Russia. The scales were used to check the accuracy of the master weights used throughout a factory. The VEF factory was an ex-Soviet factory famous in the '30s for making the world's smallest spy camera and then in the fifties, it produced most of Soviet Russia's radios and telephones. These are extremely precise manual scales, a wonderful part of industrial history. Due to their size and rarity, they make superb decorative pieces, a stunning statement piece.

The scales still balance and are working and fully operational, having most of their original components, but are sold as decorative items.
