Feather-Lite egg scale
This egg grader is made by C.S.H. Industries Incorporated, of Oak Lawn, Illinois, U.S.A.. The initials CSH are cast in the bottom of the base plate. This sturdy egg scale is made of aluminum, stainless steel and brass. The base plate has two rubber pads and a set screw with a red plastic head and a jam nut. The base plate also contains a steel pin over which the brass test weight of two ounces fits. The supplied test weight reads 24. With this test weight in the egg cup, the pointer should reach 24 ounces per dozen. The main shaft is very solid with conical ends. According to Charley Amsbaugh's book with American Egg Scales (North American Egg Scales from ABC to Zenith), this egg scale was made until October 1989. From when, is not stated.
This egg scale is therefore of quite recent date, only the Incredible Egg Scale, "the Chicken" is even more recent. The aforementioned second manufacturer name is taken from Amsbaugh's book. At the bottom of the leaflets of this Feather Lite AA Egg Scale is this slogan: BEST...BECAUSE WE BUILD 'EM THAT WAY.
The scale is divided into grams per egg and ounces per dozen eggs. The scales range from 40 to 75 grams per egg and from 16 to 32 ounces per dozen eggs. The pointer is quite large. The scale is 23 centimeters high, the base plate measures 20.4 x 9 cm.
