Thank you for your enquiry. W. & T. Avery Birmingham is embossed in several places, in this image you can see the text on the platform and on the arm. Unfortunately we do not have an image of the front at present, I will contact you directly on this.

Do you have a photo of the front? Does it have the Avery emblem on the front? I just found these exact scales in Victoria Australia.
