egg scale

This egg scale was made by Philipp Jakob Maul from Hamburg, Germany. The chart has beautiful colors. The weight classes for eggs are indicated by the capitals S, A, B, C, en D. The chart is also subdivided in grams, from 40 till 80 grams. The poise can be switched from position zero into position 40-80. In the zero position the scale starts at zero grams, and in the 40-80 position the scale starts at 40 grams. Also a slightly different design exists with the figures 1 up to 7 inclusive for the different weight classes of the eggs. The egg-cup is aluminum. The mechanism is made of steel strips with a brass colored top layer. The total height is 23.5 centimeters, approx. 9 1/4 inch. Below some more pictures of this egg scale.
