Michelle, the scale is old and still covered with dust from the garage. I used it to weigh metals, etc. in jewelry work before we got electronic scales. I have and old "labratory scale" in its glass box that is neat, too. Sorry the image is so vague..the "symbols of wealth" in the pic were to mean "its all about the money" with little conscience otherwise. Drug dealers are no one's friend. This is not a happy subject and I don't like the picture for what it depicts...still, this is a social issue just as are steroids in professional sports creeping down to the high school levels. Tom.
