Antique Scales and Hooks. These are original to the Butcher Shop and Store that Arthur "Artie" Shaw and his family ran when they first opened in Torrington, CT. That scale was actually used to weigh meat in the store. Scales such as these were just featured on "American Pickers" on the history channel. Allot of Butcher Shops are reopening and they are bringing back and repurposing all the old pieces to use them again in the rejuvenation of old corner markets! Take them, clean up and restore, and actually use them. These are very unique and the first ones we have had the privilege to auction in 35 years! Many of these type of scales were just disposed of, however with a resurgence of anything that has metal, brass, and bronze, people are just realizing and appreciating the craftsmanship of the era. This is a real find in today's marketplace! These items may be picked up in Torrington, CT. Appointment time will be scheduled after auction date.
