I bought mine from Costco in California several years ago. The brand is polder. It is a digital dual scale easy to switch to grams and measure to the gram. http://www.polder.com/shop/measuring-temperature/food-scales/digital-kitchen-scale

How hard would it be for someone in the US to buy a scale? Would he find it at a kitchen store? I bought mine online and it's been years since I've been in a kitchen store. I'm pretty sure there's one in (I think) Crabtree Valley Mall in Raleigh, and there may be one in the mall in Asheville, but I was looking for a suitcase, not a kitchen tool. The email is partly written; I may send it on Sunday.
