[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 66191, member: 22"]The scales are for weighing coinage deposited at the bank, it was bagged up rather than rolled as is done in the US, the practise is still done today, I bag up £20 in Twenty Pence coins and they are weighed rather than counted. The Bank Raid poster will be seeking information on a recent robbery at that or a nearby branch with a probable reward. I would say it is early to mid 60`s, but the location could be any city. All the major banks in my city were like that when I was a kid.[/QUOTE]
