Same model and color. A bit better condition though. I got mine at an estate sale for a cool buck. I also have a neat Pink 60's-ish scale that has a chrome "flap" that becomes a "foot" when you stand it up on end so that you can push it up against a wall, getting it more out of the way. It's too cool but I need to clean it up still. The vinyl on top is peeling up around the edges but everything is still in great shape. I have this scale in my bath as well! Same model and color.

Like the 1015 Wurlitzer Jukebox from 1946, this older scale may have been designed in the early 40's but not produced until after the war - the chrome part looks like the front end of a 1940 Lasalle sedan :) I have the same model in black - found it for $2 at a church rummage sale. http://www.flickr.com/photos/28718267@N06/2679967998/
