A Vintage W and T Avery White Vitreous Enamelled Counter-top Shop Scale - This mechanical fan-scale, designed for retail use, features a cast metal body finished in white vitreous enamel. The front of the scale displays a fan-shaped glass window housing a complex price-computing chart. Centred above the dial is a circular green plastic emblem with an embossed silver-coloured stylized serif wordmark reading AVERY. Below the chart window, the instruction READ ONLY THE VALUES INDICATED BY RED LINE is printed in black. A large, polished stainless steel scoop-style weighing pan is mounted to the top, secured by a metal frame with four contact points. The scale has a capacity of 2 lb, with the upper red graduation scale marked in ounces and pounds. The internal computing chart shows price columns ranging from 4 to 28 per pound at the base of the visible window. The scale stands on four adjustable metal feet, and a small black circular cap is present on the front of the base. A small rectangular white adhesive label is affixed to the left side of the scale body reading pillowcases. The scale reads 0 lb on the primary weight scale (photo 2).
