This is the most beautiful balance i ever seen. I found this vintage balance Triumph at flea market store, in a realy bad shape.
Someone repainted long time ago but as you can see is not well made.
This restoration took me 2 week to complete and i try to make the best posible.This will be just a decorative piece now, because here in France people don't use any more. The balance is well balanced, it took me some time to echilibrate.
I hope you like it!
