Have often wondered why the swedes were so prolific in the use of Ivory for scales.

I've wondered the same thing myself. Maybe to show it's a luxury product?

Indeed. Maybe they used a lot of walrus tusk ? It must have been easier for them to get that type of ivory.

Looks like an original pair of Kindal scales.

Superb job !
