This lot features a 9 1/2 oz. scale. Fairbanks is one of the nation's oldest industrial manufacturing companies. Founded by Thaddeus and Erastus Fairbanks in 1823. In 1830, Thaddeus built his first real scale and applied for a patent. Since then Fairbanks has expanded to a national manufacturing company. This early 9 1/2oz. scale was most likely used in general stores. The scale has a hand painted flower on its base. It is in fair overall condition for its age. Measurers: 10" W x 4" H x 3 1/2" D
