My MIL bought this scale at an auction well before I knew here. I like to use it in the kitchen and fill the scoop with fruit or seasonal items.
The weights laid out all in a row...
After doing some research, I believe the weight marked with a "1" is not original to the set. I also believe there should be a "2"...
The base is marked Reading Hardware Co. Reading, PA 168. This scale was probably produced around the 1880's...
All stacked up...
A brass scoop...
Thanks for stopping by Applejack Lane. Visit the French Cupboard for more VBF!

Love the Old Black Scale ~ Hopefully Spring will be on it's way & there won't be too many more White snow on VBF.

What a treasure! The best part is that you still use it for its intended purpose. Have a great weekend.

Impressive treasure. I have always wanted one but know that I have no place to put it in the kitchen. Maybe time for a bigger kitchen.
Your scale is such a neat piece. I love how you share your antique treasures with us.
What a neat piece! Thanks for sharing!

A friend of mine mentioned 2012 last night to me and it's the first I heard about it so I jumped on here out of curiosity. I think it's kind of sick and sounds like a bunch of skeptical jargon.
I choose to live every day like it is the last because let's be real, WHO THE HELL KNOWS what is going to happen or when it's your time to go on. The past is history, the future is a mystery and now is a gift, thats why it's called the present. It's not healthy to sit around and trip out about when you will die. Stop wasting your time you have now.
