Not kitchen weights but industrial laboratory weights, probably a dyestuff lab by the initial appearance. The three holes are for missing small weights and the two slots are for sub-gram weights made of platinum rectangles (the wide shallow slot which would have had a clear plastic cover) and for sprung tweezers to handle the small weights (the narrow slot).

I have a similar set that belonged to my father, a pharmaceutical chemist. They had to be calibrated every year by Weights & Measures and any cleaning strictly in the hands of experts to retain their accuracy.

@Rocketman88002 8 ай бұрын

@gerryholden, was going to say about the same thing. I had a secondary standards set just like the one shown in the picture in my calibration lab. I used it to calibrate scales. The standards were referred to as transfer standards that were checked by a environmentally controlled laboratory with standards traceable to the National Bureau of Standards (now N.I.S.T.)

Nice have you checked the weights now they are abraded and polished. I remember some weights my mum had that had a hole in the bottom that had lead in it with a stamp mark. The lead was for adjustment due to wear. If they were weighing light lead could be added and melted in to make the weight up.

Great work> I think the large rectangle used to hold 0.0, 0.2 and 0.5 gram pieces of brass with one corner turned up, for mor accurate measudements. The smaller rectangle used to hold a pair of tweezers for picking up these small pieces. My set has many of these pieces so that any combination of small weight could be made. Hope this helps.

Nice job and looks great. FYI, polishing/sanding the smaller weights most likely made them less accurate. Not really an issue with the larger ones. I assume you were going for them to look good over super accuracy anyway.

@markgordon4368 9 ай бұрын

An engineers calibration kit, I worked for Herbert and Sons Ltd. One of the oldest companies in the UK we had to have them sent from the HQ to the engineers, Bizerba (you may have seen these German scales on Morrisons food counters, )we all carried both One of these sets and cast iron, when we still sold things by the lb we carried imperial weights too! Your set is missing the "delta" weights which were sub gram platinum which you used to test for what point your scale rounded up to the next increment on the scale, you should be able get these weights tested and recalibrate by the TSO (trading standards office) we never polished the weights as it would make them lighter, nice job.😊 I still have my imperial cast iron weights 😊

@CrustyRestorations 9 ай бұрын

Ah, great info, much appreciated. They might not be as accurate, but people rarely use them these days. And I brought them, as they were going to be sold for scrap value..😳 so at least they didn't get melted down 👍

@markgordon4368 9 ай бұрын

@CrustyRestorations it was nice to see them, and see someone tidy them up, however if you have a scale in your shop there is an engineer who visits tests and repairs it, that includes all the supermarket checkouts and those self service ones too they have two scales! 😉

Is this wood Ash or Beech? Ash is the wood of choice for tool handles, due to its toughness and springiness. It has a yellow hue. Beech on the other hand has a pink hue, very distinctive medullary rays. It is the wood of choice for fine box work, because the wood grain is very even, and allows fine shaping without splitting or veering off course. It is clear to me that this box is made of Beech.

Could have been for tweezers/tongs to pick up smaller weights. My lab reference set has tweezers for the smaller weights to enable them to be handled easier while you have gloves on. Reference weights are never handled with bare hands. Skin oils cause corrosion which will affect the weights.

The slot in both the base and the lid was used for tweezers. The largest slot only at the base was used to put some silver metal sheets that weighed 1g, 2g, 5g and I think also 10g, I don't remember if there were more weights. We used it when I was little at school for chemistry class. I seem to remember that there were 3 of 1gr, 2 of 2gr and I don't remember how many of 5gr.

The residue of oil is the result of wrong application. When oiling wood you have to remove the excess with a dry cloth before the oil is drying. Otherwise you have these sticky areas of oil which will never completely dry. Besides that: You really didn't recognize beech? I don't think so. It was just a bait for comments.
