Well, I thought I included an attachment, but that didn't work.  And the Insert Image gives me this (http://) - no place to browse.  I'll keep trying.  Thank you for your help!

Pretty sure yours is what is known as a Stimpson Computing scale or Computing Grocery Scale.  Is it gray?  Original ones were gray that were made during WWII.  Can you please relate all the scale information which should be on the scale. 
Look like this?

It looks a lot like that.  At the bottom of my reply there is an attachment, but don't know if it will show when you get this.
I will check with my husband to see if there is more info I can include.
