Conversion of old Swedish measures
In anticipation of more Scandinavian recipes, I've prepared these conversion tables. I have one for Hagdahl (weights and volumes - 1879) and an older for Warg (weights and volumes - 1755).

Even if these conversions are given for the 18th century, it will also be correct for later periods as seen in the cookbook "Husmanskost. En hjelpreda för Sparsamma husmödrar efter mångårig erfarenhet upprättad." from 1865 and (my) 10th edition from 1883. The metric system became standard in 1888.
