Salter No. 5 Weighing Scales
This is an antique set of Salter No. 5 weighing scales. Constructed from cast iron with a brass face, these scales exhibit a classic Victorian aesthetic. The design features intricate detailing in the cast iron base, providing both stability and visual appeal. The pan is suspended from a lever mechanism, allowing for accurate measurement, and the brass face displays clear markings for weight readings.
Condition and Collectibility
These scales show signs consistent with age and use. The cast iron exhibits some surface rust and wear, while the brass face displays patina. Despite this, the scales retain their original character and charm. These scales would be of interest to collectors of kitchenalia, antique weights and measures, or those seeking a decorative piece with historical significance.
