Miss Jan, I have the whole scale, that's a fine knife you have there.

Correct Dale, we actually have all the parts just like your pic!  The knife is certainly sweet

Hi Jan, I believe that would be a cast iron hanging scale balancing weight.    Great blade, tang stamp, and jigging go together to help make the  Krack-A-Jack a super Cotton Sampler!

Given the context .. it's a wgt off an antique set of cotton scales.

They're actually known as a STEELYARD SCALE .. but were implemented for many different uses. One can find them commonly sold in antique stores as "gin scales" or "Cotton scales".
