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,
