This item measures 6 3/4" (17.1 cm) long not including the top ring or the hook
This scale is in good condition and still moves freely
The black on the back of the scale is still about 95% intact
This scale is basically clean but we have opted not to attempt polishing or otherwise restoring it in order to preserve the original patina
There is some minor surface rust on the rear but no penetration or pitting and could be easily removed if the buyer chose to do so

This item has no cracks or signs of repair
