This vintage 1930’s heavy metal Detecto baby scale with a 30lb limit is a classic infant scale designed for weighing babies. Made in the United States, this scale offers a traditional and reliable method for measuring a baby’s weight. With its simple design and accurate measurements, it is a practical tool for doctors and parents looking to monitor their baby’s growth and development. This scale is missing the round weight that goes on the hook at the end of the scale. The counterweight is good. It measures 9.5″ tall x 19″ x 20″. It would make a great decorative piece for a baby’s room or a conversation piece in a doctor’s office. Height-weight-age tables printed on the scale itself to help parents and doctors track a child’s growth. They were used for weighing infants in healthcare settings and nurseries and have since become popular as vintage decor or props.
