Surprising Things
A baby scale–such a simple item. It was the old fashioned kind – a drab concave holder on a spring connected to a scale with a needle that spun to the correct number of pounds and ounces–nothing fancy. We found it in our house in June 2000 when we moved in. The previous owner was a doctor.
We had no baby. Our boys were in high school. But we kept the baby scale, thinking it was an interesting antique that brought back memories of our own childhoods.
