Vintage Detecto Scales Hanging Fruit & Vegetable Scale- Franklin County PA Seal

Description

This is an older hanging scale. On the face it reads: Detecto Scales- Detecto Scales Inc.- Brooklyn, N.Y. U.S.A.- Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.- The Jacobs Bros. Co. Inc.- B'klyn, N.Y.- Serial Number (blank)- Capacity 20 Lbs by 1 Oz- Legal For Fruits and Vegetables- No For Other Foods. It is a metal frame with a glass front over the face. On the glass is a Franklin County PA seal which is dates Aug 25. Pre-printed on the seal is 194 for a year in the 1940s and it looks like they wrote in the last number for the year. Trying to read what is written there for the last number it actually looks like a 52 so it may be dated Aug 25 1952. The scale does have some rusting and wear. The hand does move when you pull on the hook. The glass is not cracked but you can see it looks a little dirty inside. It does look like you can remove the screws to lift off the front.
The buyer will pay shipping according to the weight of the package and their zip code.
