<p>[QUOTE=&quot;janem2017, post: 235277, member: 4624&quot;]I am curious if anyone knows what this was used for? It appears to be a hanging scale slotted weight but I have yet to find anything comparable online. It weighs 43 pounds and is over 100 years old. The only marking left are a -3W which makes me wonder if the dash is a 4 or if that&#039;s a coincidence. 43W=43 pounds.&nbsp; This has been a mystery for 2 generations, we know that it was considered to be special by our Grandfather but not why.. there is a memory as a child where an explanation included a rope and piano wire.&nbsp; Any suggestions or guidance is greatly appreciated!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":yawn:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]71188[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]71189[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]71190[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]71191[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
