Vintage Little Samson Spring Scale - Made in England

This authentic English-made spring scale features a robust aluminum or zinc alloy construction with clear graduated markings from 0-4 pounds. The scale includes “TO WEIGH x 4LB x 1OZ” specifications and “MADE IN ENGLAND” markings, indicating quality British manufacturing likely from the mid-20th century.
The mechanism operates via an internal spring system visible through the viewing window, with a pointer that moves along the graduated scale as weight is applied to the S-hook. The unit shows honest wear consistent with actual use, including surface patina and some rust on the hardware, which adds to its authentic vintage appeal.
Features include a sturdy top ring for hanging, clear numerical graduations, and a functional S-hook for attaching items to be weighed. This type of scale was commonly used in shops, kitchens, farms, and workshops for accurate small-weight measurements.
