Scottishmoney Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 When these things are found, they are usually unknowns in bargain bins. But in fact they are 19th and early 20th century apothecary weights, used for measuring of medicines during that time. They are kind of neat if someone asks if you have all your scruples, in fact there are scruples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
