Listing description

Product description

Lot of three pocket balance (spring) scales, each with hanging ring, S-shaped metal hook and sliding indicator window. The blue scale is marked “POCKET BALANCE for AIR TRAVELLERS 1 Kilo – 2.2 Lbs”; the other two carry similar “POCKET BALANCE” markings. All three show clear signs of heavy use with visible surface wear, scratches and paint loss — the right-hand scale has green verdigris/corrosion around its face and some surface rust is visible on hooks.

These compact spring balances suit collectors of mechanical travel/goods scales, prop and display use, hobbyists or small businesses wanting simple hanging scales for lightweight items. They are convenient for markets, craft fairs, fishing or luggage/parcel checks where a small, portable scale is needed and patina or age wear is acceptable.

  • Condition: Used — surface scratches, paint loss, one scale with green verdigris/corrosion; metal hooks show surface rust.
  • Measurements: Not measured.
