Re: 10 pound scale weight

That looks like a scale weight. You can add or remove it from the stack to find the total weight. that must have been near a mill or railroad type facitlity. Good Find, never seen one here before.

Definitely a scall counter weight. Looks to be 1920's or so, by the lettering.
Pretty cool!

Used those to weigh bulk nails at the lumber yard on the old scale.

Did you weigh it to make sure it really is 10 pounds?

It's only about a pound. I think it's brass

This is only a counter weight. It will even out ten pounds when used on a scale.
