This old weight scale is sitting in my kitchen. I don't really know how old it is, but I believe about 100 years if not more. It is very heavy since it is made of iron. Most of the time I have plants on it. I placed it on my kitchen table and put the light on in the room. Since the light also came through a window behind it, I pulled the curtains. I used a tripod.
