Folding Pocket Coin Balance by Wm Abbott - click to enlarge.

This is a brass self-raising steelyard type pocket coin balance. This coin scale unfolds itself when the hinged lid of its mahogany box is fully opened. The coin is placed on the folding H shaped hanger, then the weights (turns and slide) adjusted to fit the coin type. The original trade label, in good condition, contains instruction of how to use the scales and states " Manufactured by Wm Abbott Eccleston Street Pescot Lancashire".
