    I imagine that it is continental (10kg) and pre WWII. Can anybody tell me anything about it?

    Thanks

    Wet Fish shop, Fishmonger.

    Probably explains the rust from salt water, might have been enamelled originally.

    There must be a mark or stamp somewhere on the back of hardware in the middle

    I agree that it was used at the market and my reason is 10kg limit. Household scales of that type usually are 5kg. At least one I have is 5kg.
