Antique Cast Iron Steelyard Scale Weight | Primitive 1lb Hanging Counterweight

Antique cast iron steelyard scale weight, marked "1" for one pound, likely dating to the 19th or early 20th century based on the forged hook and cast construction. This type of counterweight was used on hanging beam scales common in general stores, farms, and trading posts to weigh goods by balance. The weight features a forged steel hook rod attached through a loop at the top, allowing it to hang or slide on a scale's poise arm. No maker's mark is present beyond the weight denomination. A great piece for collectors of antique scales, weights and measures, or general store mercantile history.
