SCALE PAN - METAL
Rectangle metal pan with a rounded over rim, body of the pan is curved with a rounded base.
Metters balance scales with imperial weights used by Mrs 'Ma' McDonald on her Bedfordale property to measure our ingredients when she was making jams and pickles. The property was on the corner of Waterwheel Road and Albany Highway. Before 1966 Australia used the imperial measuring system. Most recipes would have used imperial measurements. Ma probably kept using the imperial weights after 1966 for recipes she already knew.
