Vintage American Family Scale – 25 lb / 11 kg Kitchen Counter Scale

A great old-school kitchen scale with plenty of vintage character, this American Family Scale features a large round dial decorated with colourful food illustrations including meat, bananas, apple, fish, chicken, grapes and tomatoes.

The scale reads up to 25 pounds and 11 kilograms, with a removable-style cream platform on top and a classic white metal body. The bright illustrated face gives it much more display appeal than a plain utility scale.

A nice piece for a retro kitchen, pantry display, farmhouse décor or vintage kitchenware collection.

Condition

Pre-owned vintage condition with visible age and use.

The scale shows surface dirt, staining, scuffs, discoloration and some small areas of rust/oxidation, particularly around the metal base and edges. The cream platform has age-related marks and yellowing.

The needle moves when weight is applied, as shown in the supplied photos. Accuracy has not been professionally calibrated or verified, so it is best sold as a vintage household/display scale rather than for precision measuring.

Please review all photos closely for exact condition.
