Balance Technology and our heritage
These genuine antique scales were manufactured in Great Britain, circa 1880 by George Salter (scalemakers since 1760). They were a familiar sight around England until 1940, and they can now become a familiar sight on your premises.
Around the turn of the century, one thousand of these beautiful old scales were sent to the British colony of Australia by tall sailing ships, and placed at railway stations and outside post offices throughout the Commonwealth.
During World War II, other scales in England were recalled by the British War Ministry and recycled for their iron and brass content to help with the war effort. The only known scale of this type left in England is in the British Railway Museum in York.
Restoration has now been completed by Victorian Scales on these machines. They originally operated on one penny, and have now been converted to take a £1 coin.
