Kitchen scale
Pic KIT 9

Very nice ornate cast iron cased scale. Uses half roberval system with spring. Motion transfer to the pointer by a rack and pinion. Text on the dial
"Dublex Haushalts Waage"
Weigh up to 10 Kg. The dial is enamel. The load pan is made of tin ( removed for the picture ). Very rare kind, because the scale is a "Two in One" scale. One side weigh up to 2 KG and the other side up to 12 KG. You only have to change the pan holder to a other holder hole.
