The scale is a Model HHA1C 4 pound scale made in cast iron, brass and galvanized steel. It still has an old Post Office Department lead seal. Lifting the cylindrical weight allows it to slide to the correct weight value.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Cast iron, brass and galvanized steel, lead seal tag.

MARKINGS: FAIRBANKS SCALES logo; FAIRBANKS on end of arm; FAIRBANKS PROPERTY OF U.S.P.O. DEPT. on base; P.O.D. 1 on lead seal; HHA1C (or G?) on bottom.

ITEM NOTES: This is from a United States Postal Service collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. MCEX13 LAGEX9/13 SAEEX11/16

CONDITION: 7 (Very Fine): The scale has some spots of light to medium wear.
