A rare set of balance scale pans and weights (秤砣) from the Edo period, bearing the hallmark of "Shuzui," a prestigious scale maker. The center of the pan is clearly engraved with "御秤所" (Okariyojo), the official seal of the shogunate, the paulownia crest (桐紋), and the "Shuzui" mark. The weight also bears the "Shuzui" mark and the weight inscription "壱両" (Ichiryo - one ryo), suggesting they were an original pair used with the same balance scale at the time. The Shuzui family was a distinguished lineage exclusively permitted by the Edo shogunate to manufacture and inspect scales, making these items extremely valuable historical materials for understanding the economy and measurement systems of the time. 【Contents】 ・Shuzui Balance Scale Pan × 1 ・Shuzui Weight (Ichiryo, with string) × 1 【Condition】 Excessive cleaning has been avoided to preserve the original texture.
