Its cast brass, ..... and its 1856, ...... but can only guess what its use was for, .... as soon as I think up something.

There is one at auction here: https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?p=lot&sid=387&lot=3210
The site is in German and the description translates as follows:

Leipzig coin action Heidrun Jeering

Scales and weights
Mug weight sentences
Plauen i. Steward's land.

Application weight to pound 1/2 of link of the hanger ' 1/2 pound ', on the right from the hanger ' crown about P'. Completely with 8 applications, everything gepunzt.
Seldom, very well-preserved

Which doesn't make sense to me! Anyone have any ideas? There are some inserts that fit inside it, you can see them on the auction item.
