  18TH C. ENGLISH BRASS GUINEA COIN FOLDING SCALENorthwestern Europe, England, Liverpool, ca. late 18th to early 19th century CE. A miniature travel-sized brass currency scale for weighing guineas to determine gold value. This is a pocket-sized device - the slender rectangular case is integral to the piece - when opened the scale unfolds upward, the case forming a base, and the interior lid contains a printed paper with instructions for use. The coin is placed onto the dangling plate that connects to the beam with an H shaped frame. This load arm has the numbers and sliding gauge and the other half of the beam has a hinged rectangular weight that moves to counter poise the beam for either guineas or half-guineas. All pieces articulate and self-erect as designed, and the original instructions are mostly legible! Such scales were a convenient solution to identifying counterfeit coins and most merchants used these in their shops. Size of scale erect: 9.75" L x 0.75" W x 2.5" H (24.8 cm x 1.9 cm x 6.4 cm); case folded: 5.125" L x 0.75" W (13 cm x 1.9 cm) Anthony Wilkinson is accredited as the inventor of this type of pocket scale, with records indicating he worked at a Kirkby Liverpool address from about 1774 to 1785, until he moved to Ormskirk where he was active until 1801.
