A lovely piece of traditional British kitchenalia with a strong farmhouse / industrial appearance. Particularly appealing displayed with the weights stacked on the platform.
Condition: Good original vintage condition with age-related wear throughout. There is surface oxidation/rust to the weights, pan and exposed metal areas, together with scratches, marks and wear to the painted/enamelled finish. The original transfers have survived remarkably well. Please study photographs carefully as they form an important part of the condition description.
Sold as a vintage collectable/decorative item rather than as a calibrated weighing instrument.
