a. Silver colored cast metal spring balance scale with a flat, vertical body, a curved upper half, a straight base and lower sides, and 2 rectangular pedestal feet. On the front, set into a raised rim, is a large, flat, white enameled metal dial with an outer ring of painted black lines and numbers. The numbers indicate weights: 0 – 20 pounds along the inner ring and 0 – 10 kilos with fractional increments along the outer. Below, the body is embossed with a row of 3 diamonds flanked by short zig-zags. On the back center, a rectangular metal housing for the inner works is mounted between 2 parallel vertical ridges. It has an open base, a ridged back, and the top is covered by a horizontal panel extending from the body. On top, a threaded metal post with a circular head is fixed to the right of a hole from which a vertical rod extends. Screwed to the top is a horizontal metal ring with central cross bars and 4 upward curving, flared prongs to support a weighing pan. b. Large, shallow, oval silver colored metal weighing pan for a spring scale. It has a flat, slightly raised base, rounded, gently sloped sides, and a rolled rim. The surface is discolored, worn, and slightly dented. c. Thin, flat, corroded silver colored metal indicator needle with a tapered point from the dial of a spring scale (a). The point extends from a central disk, which has a domed, brass colored metal mount. Extending from the disk, opposite the point, is an oval with a ring at the end. d. Sixteen different sized, irregularly shaped flakes of enamel paint from the white dial of a spring scale (a). Several of the flakes are painted with black markings from the product label or the number line.
