It is an old meat scale from the area but don't know where... We got it and I just had no room for it. I wanted to get the glass plate for the top and reset the scale for that! Good luck. It is a cool item! I am glad the last owners left it for you! The scale was left by us! It is an old meat scale from the area but don’t know where… We got it and I just had no room for it.
