A model of a classic antique kitchen scale

Produced by the renowned Swedish company Jernbolaget Eskilstuna, this scale dates back to the first half of the 20th century.

It features the following details:

Exterior and Design

Material: The scale is made of durable cast iron in a burgundy or dark red colour.

Base: A wide, curved base ensures the scale's stability on surfaces. The cantor is decorated with raised, perforated diamond or eye-shaped patterns.

Top: An iron arm extends from the top, supporting a base for the weighing pan or tray (on which the food or other items to be measured are placed).

Measuring Panel (Enamel)

Shape and Colour: The panel is circular with an off-white background (due to age and antiquity) and is surrounded by a metal frame secured with protruding rivets.

Indicator and Grading: It features a black, pointed indicator in the centre. The scale's scale ranges from 0 to 10 kilograms, with precise internal divisions for measuring smaller weights in grams.

The text and logo: The Swedish word "Hushållsvåg" (meaning household scale) appears in the center of the scale, followed by the manufacturer's name, Jernbolaget.
