The display features dual scales for simultaneous measurement: an inner scale graduated from 0 to 20 stone and an outer scale showing 0 to 280 lbs, with individual pound increments. The face is further marked ‘TO WEIGH 20 Stone by 1 lb. 280 Lb by 1 lb.’ and bears the manufacturer’s logo featuring an arrow and ‘S’ above the inscription ‘MADE IN ENGLAND’.
