Antique cast iron family scale with 24-pound capacity dial. This is a wonderful early countertop scale featuring its original aged black finish, decorative pointer, and authentic wear from years of use.

The scale retains a heavily worn side label, though the maker or distributor is no longer fully readable. Similar examples are known with hardware company names from various Midwest cities, suggesting these scales were often sold through regional hardware distributors.

A great piece for farmhouse, country store, mercantile, primitive, or kitchen decorating.

Condition:

* Significant age-related wear throughout
* Surface rust, paint loss, and oxidation present
* Worn and partially unreadable side label
* Untested for accuracy
* Sold as decorative antique display piece

Measures approximately 8 inches tall and 5 inches wide. Please review all photos carefully as they are part of the description.
