A set of vintage kitchen balance scales manufactured by John Harper and Co. Ltd. of Willenhall, England. The scales feature a cast-iron body with a cream-coloured enamel finish. The design incorporates a fixed square platform on the left for holding weights and a large, removable oval pan on the right for weighing goods. A green rectangular label is affixed to the base, bearing the name HARPER. The mechanical pivoting mechanism is constructed of metal and connects the two weighing surfaces. This model is representative of mid-20th-century British domestic kitchenware.
