Vintage Technical Drawing Pen Set - Koh-I-Noor Rapidograph Case and Ink Bottle

A wonderfully weathered antique family platform scale by American Cutlery Co. of Chicago, featuring an ornate circular dial, substantial metal construction, and a deeply aged black painted finish. Years of oxidation, rust, and surface wear give this utilitarian household object a particularly strong industrial character, making it just as appealing as a decorative display piece today.

Condition
Fair antique condition with significant age-related wear throughout. Rust and oxidation are present across the metal body, with visible rust spotting and discoloration on the dial face and extensive loss and wear to the painted finish. The dial responds when weight is placed on the platform, but the scale has not been calibrated and accuracy is not guaranteed. Please review all photos closely for condition.

A unique find and purr-fectly peculiar.
