Salter is a British brand of household items. Founded in 1760, Salter has been developing precision products for over 260 years. It is a market leader in kitchen and bathroom scales and one of the oldest consumer brands in the United Kingdom. The company began its operations in late 1760 in the village of Bilston, England.
In 1825, it became known as George Salter & Co. George later opened a manufacturing site in the city of West Bromwich. The West Bromwich Albion football team was founded by workers from this yard. From here, the company produced a wide variety of scales, including the first bathroom scales in the UK. It is still active today.
Please review the photographic gallery carefully, as it is an integral part of the description, to avoid any unpleasant misunderstandings.

Seller's Story
For over 20 years, I have dedicated myself passionately to the search for and trading of special, rare, curious objects from any era.
Every piece I select has something that catches my attention: it can be the shape, the story, the unusual aspect, or simply that detail that makes it unique.
I am always searching for objects that speak, that tell something to those who know how to listen.
I choose them carefully, photograph them honestly, and describe them as accurately as possible.
Selling on this Catawiki to share this passion with those who, like me, love to surround themselves with things with a soul.
