Offered for sale is an original Mettler Feinwaage Swiss analytical laboratory balance, manufactured in 1960, housed in its original wooden and glass cabinet.
Mettler laboratory balances were among the finest precision scientific instruments of their time and remain highly sought after today by collectors of scientific instruments, laboratories, and technical antiques.
This balance is in beautiful vintage condition. The wooden cabinet, glass panels, and precision mechanical components have all been very well preserved.
Specifications (from the original nameplate):
- Manufacturer: Mettler
- Model: Feinwaage
- Year of manufacture: 1960
- Maximum capacity: 200 g
The balance still carries its original Budapesti Kénsavgyár (Budapest Sulphuric Acid Factory) inventory plate, adding an interesting piece of industrial history and provenance.
To the best of my knowledge, the balance includes all of its original accessories. However, I am not an expert in laboratory instruments, so please carefully examine the photographs to ensure everything meets your expectations.
I have not been able to professionally test or calibrate the balance, therefore it is sold as a vintage collectible. The photographs show the actual item you will receive.
Approximate dimensions:
- Height: approx. 50 cm (19.7")
- Width: approx. 38 cm (15")
- Depth: approx. 26 cm (10.2")
A beautiful example of classic Swiss precision engineering that would make an excellent addition to a scientific instrument collection, museum display, laboratory exhibition, or vintage interior.
The balance will be carefully packed to ensure safe worldwide shipping.
