Description

"Orange and Lemon Scale," issued by California Fruit Growers Exchange, Los Angeles, ca. 1920s. The item has a rotating dial with preprinted prices for lemons in red and oranges and blue on either side so that the cost per dozen can be calculated. There are also images of the two fruits. On the other side is a "compliments of" statement from the Exchange and the "Sunkist" brand. With yellowing to the celluloid, stains, and scratches, the overall condition is good.
