This lot features two vintage mechanical scales: a Hanson spring scale with a blue enameled metal body and a capacity of 24 pounds, and an Ohaus balance scale with two marble platforms. The Ohaus scale features a classic cast iron design with precise measurements, indicating its use for more delicate applications. Both scales represent early 20th-century measuring instruments. The Hanson scale exhibits significant paint loss and chipping on the white platform, with visible rust on the underside and around the base. The Ohaus scale shows considerable surface rust on its metal components, particularly on the balance beam and supports, indicating prolonged exposure to moisture or age. The marble platforms on the Ohaus scale are discolored and show signs of wear. Both scales are in working order.
