A vendor weighs a piece of meat, trims it and hands it to a customer at her market stall. In postwar Berlin meat was among the scarcest goods; supply ran through ration cards whose allotments often fell short of need. Scales like this one ensured that allocated quantities were measured precisely, even as an extensive black market operated alongside official trade. The scene dates from the same year in which Western aid shipments, such as American flour arriving at Westhafen, helped sustain the city's food supply.
