Antique Find...I got questions..

Been looking for one of these old scales....and luck would have it....I found one in Bethlehem NH.at an antique store. It can weigh stuff from 1-50 pounds. Only took me an hour,to figure out how to work it...lol. But...any of Yinz got any idea how old this is ? Thanks Nessy

That is cool!

Scales like that were around in the 1800s and are still being made. Is there any marks on it?

Well im old enough to remember when the dead sea got sick and i never seen one so it must be older than that.....pretty neet.... any name or markings on it??

Pretty Neat

Called a stillard scale: Google it and you find out lots.Typical farm used.Pretty common as far as they go but they are cool and always have liked them-P.S.

Most likely late 1800's Nessie. That is in good shape! I have some of those as well as a big cotton scale along the same lines. I like scales and have a bunch of them.

Thats a cool find nessy.

Cool find nessy!!

Guys that ain’t no scale, everyone knows what that is....

Pig Castrater!

I weighed something that was 3 pounds on that scale.....then took that item I weighed..and dropped it on my “ Not Certified “ ditigal scale..it read 2.87 pounds....close enough !

I've bought a hand full of them. Not sure why other than I thought they were cool.

I've got one and a "Beam Scale" for the really heavy stuff amazing how people over estimate the weight of animals especially deer and cougars!

Wow a antique nose picker

I have a larger one that allways hung in my grandfathers shed where we all hung our deer. We weighted them on that.

I made one of those. More accurate than one would think.

Last week my neighbor gave me two of them... one bigger and one smaller. Very accurate and simple to use.

I have to clean them up a bit.
