Description

Ludwig Oertling, London Assay Balance Scale

early 20th century, brass instrument within mahogany case, signed "L. Oertling London" to beam, numbered 4240 to instrument base, mounted within a mahogany case with slide-up glass doors, two lower dovetailed drawers with bone or pulls, adjustable feet. Included within the drawers are (2) mahogany boxed sets of assay weights marked "L. Oertling," (2) round boxed sets marked "L. Oertling Ltd.," and a single box set marked "S. Garcia / London."
Also included with the Lot are two related hardcover publications on weights and measures of money.

OERTLING fine British balances were manufactured from 1847 to 1996. Founder Ludwig Oertling (1818-1893 ) was a German instrument maker who came to England in 1844, and in 1847 he set up his own business which at one time was at 12 Store Street, London. From about 1854 to 1860 he collaborated with George H. Makins (assayer to the Bank of England) to produce a "Improved Assay Balance." The Oertling firm added 'Limited' to its name in the early 20th century. After Ludwig's death in 1893, his son Henry ran the company until his death in 1921.
(Oertling a History of Precision weighing, Tony Morris, 2012)
