Lot 169: An antique painted cast iron kitchen spring scale

An antique kitchen spring scale constructed from cast iron with a painted off-white finish. The piece features a large, shallow, oval-shaped metal scoop mounted on a supporting frame above a circular dial housing. The dial face is significantly patinated and darkened, with a single central pointer; while fine graduations are visible around the outer edge, no numerals or manufacturer name are currently legible. The housing is integrated into a decorative flared base with a tiered and scalloped moulding.
