Emerald - USS Hibiscus / Frances Wright (4/4)
Artifacts Recovered from the Emerald Wreck
These scales were made of chromed brass. They are marked in increments that indicate they measured weights up to 40 pounds. The counterweight would be attached on one end while the squared end fit into a holder. The top edge of the scale arm has pointed ridges for adjusting the weights.
