THIS INCREDIBLY RARE ANTIQUE BUTTER MOISTURE BALANCE WAS USED TO DETERMINE THE WATER CONTENT IN BUTTER. THERE IS VERY LITTLE INFORMATION ON HOW THESE UNITS WERE USED, BUT THERE IS MUCH INFORMATION ON THE MODERN ELECTRONIC ANALYSERS. IN SHORT, BUTTER HAS A LEVER OF WATER CONTENT, AND THE MORE WATER IN THE BUTTER, THE LESS TASTE. THIS BALANCE MEASURES 32cm x 17cm AND STANDS 25cm TALL. THE BALANCE HAS A WATER LEVER AND ADJUSTABLE FEET. A TRULY RARE FIND.

FROM THE INTERNET: "The water content of butter makes a big difference in how it tastes and works in cooking, and salted butters contain considerably more water than unsalted butters".

BELOW IS ALL I COULD FIND ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS RARE ANTIQUE BALANCE.
