Beam Balance
name: label: maker
content: Troemner
notes: label: Description
content: This is an analytical balance in a walnut case with glass panels and two drawers in the base. The pans are 11 inches diameter. The beam (now missing) would have been 31 inches long. This was probably made by Henry Troemner in Philadelphia. And it was probably made in 1905, when the federal Assay Office in Denver became the Denver branch of the U.S. Mint.
