1930s German Aluminum Weighing Scoops

German weighing scoops or “dry goods scoops “ made out of aluminum.
All three come with purchase; two are size 185mm and one is 160mm.

In Germany, "weighing scoops" are referred to as "Wiegeschaufeln" or "Mess-löffel" and are versatile tools used in various fields, including kitchens, laboratories, and industrial settings for accurately measuring and scooping small quantities of substances like powders, granules, or liquids. They are available in a wide range of materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, and plastic, each designed for specific applications like food safety, chemical re-sistance, or dishwasher compatibility. A typical entire set would be sizes between 55mm to 430mm. These sizes would be used in household kitchens, science labs, restaurants, and even for agricultural use.
The different sizes of scoops are in mm to indicate the length of the scoops. Different sizes scoops are needed for different goods when weighing so scoops are charted by its size in millimeter metric.

BRIEF HISTORY OF WILESCO-GERMANY
Wilesco began in 1912 in Lüdenscheid, Germany, founded by Wilhelm Schröder. The company , initially named Wilhelm Schröder & Co. is now known as Wilesco.
From 1912-1920, the company manufactured aluminum household items such as forks and spoons, measuring cups, dry good scoops and even ice cream scoops. Wilesco expanded into miniature aluminum accessories for doll's tea parties, which helped the company during the economic crisis of the late 1920s and early 1930s through exporting their products.
A global supplier of aluminum, Wilesco also produced manufactured steam engine parts for Fleischmann throughout the 1930s and early 1940s.
After WWII, Wilesco began manufacturing its own miniature steam engine toys during the 1950s.
By the 1970s, Wilesco became one of the few major manufacturers of live steam toy models after competitors like Marklin and Fleischmann exited the market.
Wilesco continues to produce a wide range of steam toys and accessories, alongside its die-casting and now modern stainless steel scoop line and hook production.
