Dr. Oetker baking scale
This baking scale has the logo and the brand name Dr. Oetker on the scale house below the scale. The scale house and probably also the weighing platform are made of bakelite. On the inside of the scale house is the part number 1246/2, the PAG logo and the coding of the Material-Prüfungs logo with 45 and the letter S. the 45 points to Presswerke AG from Essen. the capital S means that the scale house is made of Phenolic resin (Bakelite) with wood flour as filler (In German: Phenolharz (Bakelit) mit Holzmehl als Füllstoff). The weighing platform has no part number and also no coding of factory or of MaterialPrüfung Berlin-Dahlem. the weighing range is 500 grams. Up to thirty grams there are red stripes per gram, from 30 to 500 grams there is a stripe per every five grams. The scale has GRAMM as the unit of measure. This baking scale obviously had a hard life and misses parts of the bakelite edge at the left and the right. Probably also the bin in which the flour and the like is weighed after placing it on the round platform.
