Antique Cast Iron Fairbanks No. 3 Candy Mercantile Farm Balance Scale

This antique cast iron balance scale, made by Fairbanks, is a beautiful addition to any collection. With its No. 3 model number, it is a true piece of history. The scale is perfect for display in a mercantile or farm-themed setting, and will be a conversation starter for anyone who sees it. The scale's sturdy construction and balance type make it clear that it was built to last. It is a great example of the quality craftsmanship that went into products of this era. Whether you're a collector or just appreciate well-made antique items, this Fairbanks scale is a must-have. Appears to function properly and still has some of the original red paint **PLEASE NOTE*** I'm not a collector or expert so please see all photos for condition and let me know if you have any questions or need any more photographs. Due to the reason of light and the display, you can see the picture may have a slight color difference problem, this is inevitable, please understand. Please review images to make your judgment on cosmetic condition which I believe is a matter of personal opinion. You will get what you see. Please keep in mind that the majority of the items in my store are used, vintage or antique. I try to list every item accurately and to the best of my ability including any damage that I may find. There may be surface wear, scuffing or minor things to items that would come with normal use so if there is something specific you are concerned about please ask. If you see a mistake or flaw in my listing PLEASE let me know! I try to research each item and now and then I get it wrong. I welcome input and will make changes when I can verify your input. I have an antique & vintage shop in San Diego close to downtown with a wide range of antiques, furniture, collectibles and other unique items. Open to the public by “appointment” usually starting in the afternoons every day.
