AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Up for auction: an iconic weight scale produced by the historic French company Posso, a classic example of functional design from the mid-20th century. This model is particularly valued for its minimalist aesthetics that unite industrial robustness with the modernity of materials.
Key features:
Brand: Posso (Original marking on the graduated scale).
Origin: Made in France.
Period: circa 1960-1975.
Mechanism: High-precision mechanical pendulum/counterweight system.
Weighing capacity: Graduated scale from 0 to 350 grams.
Materials: Base and arm in metal with the characteristic gray "hammered" finish of the era; weighing pan in transparent plexiglass, an element that gives the object a light visual feel.
Adjustment: Equipped with a micrometric screw on the base for manual calibration (zeroing the needle).
Condition:
The item presents in excellent vintage condition. The mechanism is smooth and fully functional. The plexiglass pan is intact (note any superficial scratches if present). The hammered finish preserves its original luster with minimal signs of aging attesting to its authenticity.
