I've found that they are very accurate too...

I also have a Hardy spring balance (no doubt Salter but with the Hardy stamp and which cost me ten times the amount for the privilege) which weigh up to 22lb in four ounce increments...

I don't weigh many fish at all but often use them for scale in pictures if I catch a particularly nice looking fish...

It's amazing how little you can pick up the Salter branded scales for and I shudder to think what British craftsmanship, using those materials, would cost at today's rates.
I've owned the plastic cased dial type scales in the past and they seemed positively soulless by comparison.
