Salter Vintage Spring Balance Luggage Scale for Air Travellers, Mid-20th Century

A vintage Salter luggage scale, specifically marketed as a Balance for Air Travellers. Manufactured in England, this spring balance features a rectangular metal housing with a cream-coloured face and dual-measurement scales printed in blue and red. The graduations provide readings in pounds up to 66lb and kilograms up to 30kg. The face is marked with the Salter brand name, the model description, a distinctive red arrow graphic, and the origin mark Made in England. The device is designed for portability, featuring a metal T-bar handle at the top and a hanging ring at the base, both attached to the main body via original braided cords. This type of scale was a common accessory for international passengers during the mid-20th century as commercial aviation weight restrictions became standardised.
