    You can have everything, and still not have enough.
    I'd give it all up, for just a little more.

    That is a VERY cool find and almost certainly very old, just based on my 'gut feeling' of trying to research these for a while I would say 1500s-1600s. See also this piece from 1572, from a museum in Nürnberg Germany:

    As for original scales, it's hard to say. I could imagine that wood may very well be an original period appropriate material, especially based on drawings from some of the period books.

    Some more images I have collected over the years (sadly mostly without higher resolution or much context):
