Vintage Hamilton 8 Ounce Postal Scale wood box with latch ” I think it’s aI just love the look of this vintage Hamilton postal scale, circa 1930s 40s. It's seen some use, with some scratches and rust and a little spots of paint, and seems to rest at a weight a bit to the left of zero but it's still a great little object, with a terrific mix of curves and angles. I'd sit it on a shelf with a favorite little treasure of two set on its platform, which swivels 360 degrees. 5 1 2" tall x x 4 1 4" wide x 2 1 2" deep.
