  Various egg scales.

• swanq said:

  According to Guide to US Food Laws and Regulations [books.google.com/books?id=SdotAAAAQBAJ&pg=PT144&l...] the first quality standards for individual eggs were introduced in 1925.

• swanq said:

  The box behind him reads "one Dozen" on the end and "Fancy Sel..." on the side. It seems possible that it is "Fancy Select." books.google.com/books?id=Ai45AQAAMAAJ&pg=RA5-PA3 confirms that the "fancy select " label was used for eggs. I cannot read the badge he is wearing, unfortunately.

  I have one that looks (as far as I can tell) just like the one he is placing an egg on. Acme Egg-Grading Scale Pat. June 24 1924 The Specialty Mfg Co St. Paul Minn. USA image.sciencesource.com/preview/BX5800-Acme-Egg-Grading-S...

• Ashtabula Archive said:

  Gradations indicate the number of ounces a dozen of the same size eggs would weigh. "U.S. sizes are defined by the weight of a dozen eggs. (Not individual eggs. An egg in a carton of Extra Large eggs need not weigh at least 27/12 ounces, but the dozen must weigh at least 27 ounces.)" Size- Weight of a dozen eggs Jumbo- 30 ounces Extra Large-27 ounces Large- 24 ounces Medium- 21 ounces Small- 18 ounces Peewee- 15 ounces
