It measures 7.25″ wide X 4″ and has a
cast iron base with built-in 8 1/2″ level gauge and adjuster. I
t has a unique bubble level in its base to
allow leveling of its base, to ensure accuracy of the scale.

box of weights, with weights ranging
from 100 to 4000 grams, and a 1 OZ. weight. An extra 2 OZ. weight included that was not part of the original set of weights.
