Thank you very much for viewing this item on Mercari. This item is a Showa retro nostalgic antique folk craft beam scale. The total length is 78 cm, and a 25-kilogram weight is included. In the past, various scales existed, and this was one of the most commonly used types. Weight was measured using a balance system, and the wooden beam had graduations carved into it, allowing for simple measurement in this manner. As it is over 50 years old, we hope that those interested in or fascinated by this antique folk craft beam scale, as well as overseas collectors who occasionally purchase such items, will appreciate the nostalgic retro atmosphere. We appreciate your consideration. Please note that due to the age of this antique item, we ask for your understanding regarding its condition as an antique, as it reflects the passage of time.
