Antique Toledo "No Springs" Butcher's? Scale

I am looking for any information you may be able to share on my antique scale. These are the (few) details I know... It is marked 2-13-35 on the bottom, obviously sounds like a date. It also appears to have "19218" above it, which sounds like a serial number. It is in excellent condition with almost no aesthetic issues... Porcelain looks as new. It works and is relatively close to zero.

Any information, which may include model #, value, production, normal environment, etc., will be greatly appreciated. I have included pictures which may be of help. Thanks again.

February 13, 1935 is the date that Toledo registered this design for its patent.
I feel this item probably dates to the mid-50's though.

Best of luck with your research.
