Watch List notes:

Bronze "bell-type" balance-scale weight, dated 1855, found in Key West, Florida. 5690 grams, 6-1/2" tall, 4" in diameter. Basically a "bell" of bronze filled with a lead core (visible through a small depression in the bottom), with handle at top for hanging on a scale, marked with various numbers on top and all over the sides (one a clear 1855 date), nicely patinated with lots of dents and grooves in the handle from use, a common design for its time but rarely seen today.

Estimate: $125 - 200
