Hello Sir Ben. I have some scales which I hope you can identify. It's a table top model of 24" high and 18" long on a wooden base with 4 stainless steel adjustable feet and a round spirit level. There is a brass weighing level which on the swivel end in inscribed "W T Avery Birmingham England capacity 5lb ratio 10-1". Beneath this is a small aluminium cup inscribed ratio 10-1. The other end of this lever is inscribed "ratio 100-1" and it points to a calibration scale inscribed "over & "under". The aluminium cup here is missing. This is all supported on a solid steel frame and there is a "balance adjuster" in the middle. Can you tell me what these scales were used for & if they're worth keeping? thankyou. allanemartin
