Vintage bike scale

I found this when my buddy closed his bike shop it was sitting on a heat duct by the furnace.
Does anyone have a clue about what year this could be from. It was definitely a cool marketing tool in it's time.

It probably had a hook on the bottom to hang the bike. Cool find. Viscount came out with a thin steel tubing road bike that had the infamous "death fork". The fork was aluminum and the steer tube joint tended to snap :shock: :shock: :shock: The scale was probably used to show the lightness of the bike.

I know it had to have some kind of hooks but I was thinking some kind of strap to hang from the ceiling and a hook for the bike.?
Interesting history on the forks.. Today it would be digital :lol:
