Some sources date specific models to the late 1940s. • Design: It has a distinctive greenish metal frame with a large, round dial that has white rays on a black background, giving it a touch of Art Deco. • The original metal bowl is included Today, the scale is often considered a decorative collector's item for the kitchen or for use in "farmhouse" decor, although many of them still work fine for practical use.
