BBeM: Bygone Icons Item

Bygone Icons

Penny fortune-telling scales

These were commonly found on subway platforms, in pharmacies, and at the 5-and-10.
Some displayed your weight and fortune in a window, while others spat out a printed card.

I remember the scale in the W.T. Grant on Jamaica Avenue, Jamaica, NY back in the 50s and 60s.
