Scale of Justice : vintage balance scale

If you’re in your 40’s or 50’s you probably remember your mom having one of these

scales of justice with some sort of plastic fruit draped over each tray.

They use to be very popular!

I was kind of wondering about the scales of justice….their history…. 

and how they relate to the legal system. Here’s just a snipit of what I found.

The scales of justice are a familiar symbol that represents the “weighing”

of two sides of an argument and the equal, unbiased administration of the law.
