Repair of potmetal basket holder




I have an old scale w/weights brass bowl that I believe the stand is pot metal. While playing in the house, our two dogs knocked over the scale {It belonged to my grandfather, he used it in his store} The date on it is around 1810. One of the arms that holds the bowel has been broken. Can I get this repaired or can I find someone to make another?

Thank You,

For a reasonable quick and dirty fix, get J-B Weld [affil links]. It works very well if applied IAW the instructions. This is a proprietary filled epoxy.
