Every Treasure Has a Story

Long before the carton came home from the grocery store, someone had to sort the eggs. Each one represented a small part of the day’s work, and a tool like this brought a measure of consistency to a product that never arrived in perfectly matching sizes.

The Jiffy-Way design made that task easy to follow. An egg rested in the shallow metal cup, moving the linked mechanism and pointer against a chart marked small, medium, large, and extra large. The face also paired the weight of an individual egg with its equivalent weight per dozen.

That dual reading was part of Benjamin Zimmer’s egg-scale patent, issued in 1940. The design combined a compact mechanism with a graphic panel that could communicate several pieces of information at a glance. Looking at it today, the practical purpose remains remarkably clear.

Jiffy-Way also produced scales carrying other companies’ branding, including Brower. On this example, Brower Mfg. Co. and Quincy, Illinois, appear prominently above the sizing chart. The face connects a familiar scale design with the poultry-supply business that put its name before the customer.

There is useful history in the less decorative parts, too. The adjustable cylinder counterweight at the back resembles the design Jiffy-Way adopted around 1953, suggesting a later example rather than a securely dated 1940s scale. Small mechanical changes can tell us more about an object’s age than a patent number printed on the front.

For a collector, the interest is in that combination of branding, mechanism, and surviving detail. The suspended leveling pin, open pointer, and visible counterweight give the eye somewhere to travel beyond the colorful chart. Rust and paint loss across the base also make its present condition part of what must be considered.

In a kitchen, it could sit beside a crock, a wooden breadboard, or a few old cookbooks, with the graphic face turned outward. Give it enough space for the shape to read clearly. It is an object that can start a conversation simply by reminding us how much work once happened before breakfast.

  • Display beside a stoneware crock on a farmhouse kitchen shelf.
  • Pair with vintage cookbooks and a wooden breadboard.
  • Add to a collection of poultry advertising or agricultural tools.
