10in An antique circular hanging spring scale manufactured by the Philadelphia Scoop and Scale Manufacturing Company of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The instrument features a heavy cast metal cylindrical housing finished in black paint, fitted with a brass front bezel. The circular dial face is protected under glass and is lithographed with a white background and black markings. The scale is designed for vertical suspension via a heavy iron ring at the top, with a corresponding iron ring at the base intended for attaching a hook, weighing pan, or scoop. The dial is numbered from 0 to 9 in large black serif numerals, indicating pounds, with a maximum capacity of 30 pounds. The outer track is graduated in 1/16th pound (1 ounce) increments, with the numeral 8 printed at each half-pound mark. A single black pointer indicates the weight. The center of the dial features the arched manufacturer's name, Phila Scoop and Scale Mfg. Co., and an arched Philadelphia below it. A keystone-shaped mark at the bottom center identifies it as a New York City Approved Type 33, Serial F 7. The back of the scale shows a textured cast metal surface with vertical channels and brass retaining clips for the front assembly.
