D.B.G.M. is stamped on the back of this scale.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I’ve had thoughts of placing it on a bratwurst or knackwurst to check for firmness and such but I’d hate to get it dirty.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> <IMG style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: none; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px" title=PB031351 border=0 alt=PB031351 src="cid:D3CF9AAF37414535A0902C188AFEF01D@LarryPC" width=644 height=484>  <IMG style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: none; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px" title=PB031350 border=0 alt=PB031350 src="cid:19C4364A69AB4DC7AE22114B8769E623@LarryPC" width=644 height=484>    <IMG style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: none; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px" title=PB031352 border=0 alt=PB031352 src="cid:BC47DCED2887416EA8F94C0624C99B4E@LarryPC" width=644 height=484></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
