Vintage trade scales
Scales have been used in trade since time immemorial. For weighing of goods in the shops and on the markets, simple equal-arm balances were used along with scalebeams.
On the basis thereof, over time, more advanced models of table scales appeared: various spring, platform scales, scales with a quadrant mechanism, and many others.
All of them were distinguished by relatively small sizes, and were easily placed on the counter.
