B58-259 GRAIN SCALE. DeGrave, Short & Fanner Chrondometer. A chrondometer is a specialized forn of scale used to measure grain and to determine the value of a full bushel from a sample. It consists of a brass cup that is filled to the top, leveled with an ebony striking stick, and then weighed. There's a complete label in the lid that includes the instructions and a scale to convert the weight to bushels. The manufacturers advertised themselves as "Scale, Weight and Weighing Machine Makers to Her Majesty" (presumably Victoria). Complete in its original mahogany case, there's some oxidation to the brass that you can polish if you're so inclined. Fine 150-300
