International Society of Antique Scale Collectors
The International Society of Antique Scale Collectors (ISASC) was founded in 1976 so that people who collect antique scales could form friendships, correspond, meet with each other, and enhance the pleasures of collecting. ISASC members are located in the U.S., Canada, and a number of other countries around the world.
