"LACHMANN´s Patentwage Garantiert beste Qualität Deutsches Reichspatent"
what means " Lachmann´s patented scale best quality German Empire patent and  other countries"
Weigh up to 12,5 Kg. The dial is enamel. The load pan is made of tin ( removed for the picture ).  A little screw right hand of the load pan is in use to calibrate the scale. The style is often to find in the USA but not with the German patent and text.
