This is a great antique piece.  Made of cast iron it measures about 18 inches long and 8 1/2 inches tall.  In very good shape, scale works.  Original paint with some of the gold accent that can still be seen.  Scale face reads John Chatillon and Son's Improved Market Scale New York USA.  Other side reads the same except it says Capacity 32 pounds and there are two sets of numbers under the writing 23274 and 32.  This thing weighs about 25 pounds so shipping will be a little more.  Your going to love this piece.
