Jan,
What a nice old balance. It reminds me of my grandfather's Eastman (Kodak) lab balanca. Dad mixed his own photographic chemicals. He taught me, and I mixed my own chemicals. I'm sure my grandfather did the same during the 1930s when he used a Graflex.
As I have reached the age when I need to lighten my load of material possessions, I have sold or given away my darkroom equipment. I sold the lab balance to someone who apprecisted it as a beautiful antique. I gave my Ohaus triple beam balance to the science program at my grandchildren's school.
Both have fond memories for me.
Clever about using copper.
