AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Antique, vintage Effem kitchen scale, a classic mechanical household scale. Effem is an older Danish company that produced kitchen scales primarily for the Danish, Norwegian and German markets.
Here are the most important details about the scale:
• Manufacturer: The scale is from the brand Effem, which is known for producing robust household scales in the mid-20th century.
• Capacity: The model is designed to weigh up to 10 kilos, as indicated by the text "10 KILO" at the bottom of the scale.
• Age: The scale typically dates from the 1930s to the 1950s. 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.
This scale works as it should with a similar level of precision of between 50-70 grams depending on the weight of the weighed object.

The material is tin, which is a typical material choice from the 1930s-1950s period.
