    Francis Street (Tom's Curios), the Blackrock Market and the East Wall Market http://www.merchantsmarket.ie/ would be worth checking out.

    They are known as 'balance scales' since you determine the weight by balancing the known weights on one side with the item(s) being weighed on the other side.

    Reproduction versions are available as above.

    Found an antique one for 195 including 7 weights. Base 11" x 4" - is this reasonable? Looks amazing I have to say.
