ScaleThis folding brass scale was once owned by Robert Trollap of York. It is dated 1655, the year in which Trollap designed the Exchange and Guildhall in Newcastle. The three-foot scale is in three parts and with two leaf hinges. This side is inscribed '1655 Robert Trollap of Yorke Free Mason'. Although London was the centre of the British instrument trade, instruments were made and used outside the metropolis from a fairly early date.
