Vintage Kitway Kitchen / Utility Weighing Scales – Green Metal – Made in Great Britain

.

A wonderfully characterful vintage set of KITWAY weighing scales, finished in their original industrial green enamel-style paint, complete with the top weighing platform and the classic analogue dial window showing measurements in lbs.

.

This is a brilliant example of mid-20th century British utility design — built for everyday use in kitchens, shops, storerooms or workshops, but now equally popular as a decorative display piece for farmhouse, rustic, industrial or vintage-inspired interiors.

.

The central label is still present (with wear consistent with age) showing the KITWAY trade mark and the wording “A ‘Field’ Product – Made in Gt. Britain”, adding real authenticity and collectable charm.

.

Perfect for:

vintage kitchen / pantry décor

shop display / styling props

photography / merchandising props

collectors of British domestic utilities

industrial green décor lovers

🕰️ Condition

🏭 Maker’s History (Kitway / “A Field Product”)

This piece is marked KITWAY and also states “A ‘Field’ Product”, which strongly suggests it was produced as part of a range made by a British manufacturer using the Field brand family (often associated with robust, everyday household and utility equipment).

.

During the early-to-mid 20th century, British manufacturers produced large amounts of practical weighing equipment for:

home baking and ration-era kitchens

greengrocers / small shops

storerooms, farms and workshops

Brands like this focused on:

durability and accuracy

simple mechanical movement

pressed steel bodies

bold, functional industrial design

.

These scales are now increasingly collected not only as practical antiques, but as design objects, admired for their authentic patina and honest working-class British heritage.
