Description: This H. Boker Co. buffalo hide scale from Germany, circa 19th century. This scale was made in Germany by Henry Boker sometime between the 1830s and 1880s. The scale is made of iron and brass. This Unique Spring “C” Balance, or Mancur Scale, works like it should. Originally, hunters and fur traders used it to weigh hides, but it was later used to weigh cotton bales and other products. The small hook holds up to 30 pounds and the large hook holds up to 300 pounds. It was a lightweight, yet sturdy favorite of Buffalo Hunters, Trappers, Trading Posts, and anyone else needing a compact scale. There is some oxidation that is consistent with its age. Also one of the rings was replaced with some wire. Condition is good.
