20th century Royal Mail Postal scales. These great scales, made by Salter, spent their early life measuring the weight of all the post being sent. Shows what the rates for the post were-oh if it were still so cheap! Great piece of commercial history. Use for measuring in the kitchen or office, or just for a great decor piece.
Scales are in good condition with a few nicks in the paint here and there. P.O. Type 4E scales. Lovely nostalgia piece.
The dimensions are approximately 12 x 8 inches on the platform, 14 inches high.
Condition Disclosure:
In good condition with normal signs commensurate with age. Can't guarantee accuracy of weighing.
All our items are vintage/antiques and most have had decades of use. A buyer of vintage objects should assume a baseline of wear. I am always honest and clear in my descriptions and always endeavor to point out any flaws to avoid disappointment but I cannot disclose every minute sign of use on our items as it would be impossible to do so. You should assume these are present unless we specify otherwise here at the beginning of the condition report.
Please do not hesitate to request additional photographs should you wish to inspect the item in more detail before purchasing it or if you have any questions at all that are not answered in my description. I popular normally respond to inquiries very quickly.
