Rare survivor, this highly Art Deco voice recorder in the form of the Empire State Building briefly appears in the film Brighton rock (1947). "Coin operated. Electrically records the voice. Delivers record (which will play on any gramophone) and posting envelope".

The mechanism of this Birmingham-made penny scale has much in common with the classic design by Percival Everitt of 1884, which was also used in Salter scales.
