Looks like a typical channel balance, only has the numbers 28 3 on it. It's probably around 16 years old.

Thanks for posting. I am confident we can help but that stamp only tells us the strength of the balance, not its identity. To now its identity, can you send us pictures of the attachments on either end of the metal channel? We'll do our best to assist you from there.

Hey, thanks for the assistance. I appreciate it. Please see the attached photos for details. I measured the metal part and it is 1/2" W x 28 11/16" L.

These photos are perfect, thanks again. What you have here is what's called an "extended travel" channel balance, named for its particular block and tackle configuration. We can supply these, but they have to be a custom order since they're not a stock model.

Before we go any further I just had a couple questions I'd like you to verify. First, can you tell me the length of the metal channel? It should be 28-5/8" based on your stamp, but I want to be 100% sure. Can you also tell me how many you wanted to buy?

Once I have that information, I'll email you a purchase link and price quote that will let you add these balances to your cart.
