Vintage Cast Iron Weighing Scales
This lot comprises two sets of vintage cast iron weighing scales. One set appears to be branded ‘Harper’, featuring a classic design with a central pillar and two pans suspended from arms. These scales would have been used for measuring ingredients or goods, and represent a bygone era of domestic and commercial weighing practices. The construction is robust, indicative of the quality and durability expected from cast iron items of this type.
Condition and Collectibility
These scales show signs of age and use, with surface rust and wear commensurate with their age. The pans and arms are present in both sets, though the condition varies. Collectors often seek out these scales for their aesthetic appeal and historical significance, and they can be displayed as decorative items or incorporated into functional displays.
