46 woodie Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Probably some sort of market or someone selling goods by the pound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 To keep this antique auto related, similar scales were often used on vendor trucks for selling things like vegetables, grains or other groceries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTR Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) Well, to prove OP automotive related, I have several different range spring ("fish") scales that I use or have used in my restoration work, including component testing or reproduction R & D, etc. Edited October 23, 2020 by TTR (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
