Salter Improved Spring Balance — 1941, 30lb, 33cm

A genuine vintage Salter Improved Spring Balance, stamped 1941 — likely a patent or registration date, giving a strong indication of the era this piece dates to. Salter is one of the great names in English weighing instruments, with roots stretching back to Richard Salter's first spring balance scales in the late 1760s, later becoming George Salter & Co. of West Bromwich, one of Britain's most enduring scale makers.
