    Had this thing for quite a few years and never really knew what it was. Obviously, it's a hanging scale. The hooks make me think fish, but I looked online and couldn't really find another. Some were similar but there isn't any marks on it, (that I could find), so I was just kind of searching blind. I'm sure someone here will recognize it. Maybe a guess at age too? Thanks ahead of time. 20260930_063408.jpg 20260930_063157.jpg 20260930_063259.jpg

    Around these parts, they're known as Steel Yards.

    After all, the basic balance scale is so old it's a sign of the zodiac, which we happen to be in right now: Libra.

    Cool piece and nice site. I like that Italian wrought iron.
