Jakob Maul egg scale

This egg scale was made by Jakob Maul from Zell in Germany. Judging by the plastic knurled knob on the zero adjustment screw, it is one of the later versions. Judging by the old JM logo used, this egg scale can be dated to before 1983. The design of the swivel base is from after 1970. This egg scale probably dates from the early eighties of the last century. At the bottom of this page, two older egg scales by Jakob Maul are shown for comparison, both scales have a brass egg cup.
The height of the scale is 20.3 centimeters, the base length and width is 10.5 x 8.1 cm. The largest diameter of the egg cup is 5.1 cm.
Below are some more images of this letter scale.
