1960s Harry Husker Big 8 Bathroom Scale

 

This item is most likely from early 1960s to promote the Big 8 Conference.  The Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association, of which NU was a member since 1907, didn't officially change names to the Big 8 Conference until 1964, even though it was known over the years as the Big 6 (1928-1947), Big 7 (1948-1957), and the Big 8 starting in 1958.
