{"product_id":"jep-mini-scale","title":"Vintage French JEP Toy Balance Scale | Green Cast Iron \u0026 Brass","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis vintage French JEP toy balance scale is just delightful. It has the charm of a real kitchen scale, but in miniature size... with green painted cast iron, removable brass pans and enough detail to make it feel like a proper little shopkeeper’s scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade by JEP, or Jouets de Paris, this balance jouet likely dates from the 1930s. It is modeled after a classic Roberval kitchen scale, with the JEP mark cast into the body and the kind of playful seriousness French toy makers did so well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe green paint shows age and wear at the high points, while the brass pans have warmed beautifully over time. Display it on a kitchen shelf, child’s bookcase or desk where the color, scale and French toy history can be enjoyed. A small piece with a lot of personality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52195297395031,"sku":"DEC-027","price":405.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/DEC-027-03389.jpg?v=1788804136","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/en-us\/products\/jep-mini-scale","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
