Questions About Antique Weight Scales
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    How you read a hanging weight scale depends on the design. Analog hanging scales will usually have either a round or vertical bar dial marked with ounce and pound or milligram and gram markings. Look to where the needle points to determine the weight. Newer digital scales will usually show the weight in ounces or grams on a display. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of hanging scales.
