Charles Forschner's Improved Circular Spring Balance

If I had a need for a hanging scale, this one looks nice. 

Company history from the Smithsonian; Charles Forschner began making scales in New Britain, Ct., in 1855, and later moved to New York City. His son, Richard Forschner, renamed the firm R. H. Forschner, and began importing European cutlery, including the Victorinox Swiss Army Knives. The Forschner family sold the business in 1957.

They make a handy substitute for a torque wrench when funds are too tight.
