A vintage Hanson Model 8916 Texas Cotton Scale, manufactured in Northbrook, Illinois, USA. This industrial-style spring scale features a robust metal construction with a rectangular body and a clear, readable face marked 0-160 lbs in 1 lb increments. The scale is branded "The Viking" and has a patent number 2,299,980. The overall aesthetic suggests a functional, utilitarian tool likely from the mid-20th century. The scale shows significant signs of age and use, including surface rust, paint loss, and discoloration, consistent with its industrial purpose and age.
