Toledo No Springs Scale

This Vintage Toledo No Springs scale has not been used since the early 1950's. Henry Theobald founded Toledo Scale in 1901, and coined the phrase, "No Springs,
Honest Weight" as a slogan for the company. This type of scale used
actual weight (gravity), as a counterbalance rather than spring tension. This pendulum scale was
superior because spring tension would change with temperature and wear, while gravity would not.
