Metters balance scales with metric 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. Ma McDonald would have purchased the metric weights some time after 1966 when the metric system was introduced to Australia. New cookbooks and recipes would have measured their ingredients using the metric system so to make like easy Ma got herself some metric weights to use with her old imperial balance scale.
