To help with your weighty New Year decisions...

It's a quiet, sunny day. A bit on the cold side. A good day for New Year's Day walks, visits, and ponderings.

If you are inclined to assess and consider and weigh things out at the turn of the year, might this newly consigned scale be of use?



It's a vintage Detecto hanging scale. 20 lb capacity on a 10 lb dial. The round scale is 8.5" diameter; the roomy hanging scoop is roughly 16" long x 12" wide x 6" tall at the deep end. All metal with a cheery yellow finish.



I believe it came from a horse-raising family; maybe they used it to weigh out feed? If you are raising teenage boys, it could be put to similar use.
