Buyer's premium:

A group of brass decorative and functional items. Central to the group is an ornate brass hand bell, featuring intricate relief work depicting foliage and birds, and inscribed with the Latin text ‘SV.CAS.S.JOHANNIS’ (likely Saint Caspar, Saint John). Alongside are two small, shallow brass dishes, each naturalistically shaped and embossed to resemble a fish. A brass and steel pocket balance scale, marked ‘MADE IN GERMANY’, completes the group. This scale features dual measurement units, with ‘POCKET BALANCE Lbs.’ clearly visible on one side, while the other displays ‘Кг’ (kilograms) along with the Russian text ‘РОССИЯ ВАЛЮТА’ (Russian Currency). All items display an aged patina.
