Title: Scale
Post by: greenacres on February 27, 2018, 05:51:06 pm

Hi everyone, it’s been a while. Thanks to my friend I’m here to say hello. My friend bought this scale for $50, so what are your thoughts? I can get more photos. I will have her check for marks.

Hi greenacres;
There seems to be various examples from Portugal on the market. The price of $50 seems reasonable, regardless of age.

Mart, if you enlarge the 1st pic you can see the weights in a "holder" at the base of the pedestal.
