Fairbanks scale

Hi everyone, picked this beauty up recently, was looking for any thoughts, info, and possible value in what we found. It is in great shape and has all weights and works perfectly!!

Thanks

It is WAY cool but doubt it's worth a lot.

 

Thank you!! New to this!

 

You're welcome!

 

Probably late 19th to early 20th century industrial platform scale. I don't think the particular model or maker matters all that much. Not uncommon and I think you will find some similar if you search ebay and the internet in general.

Found this one very similar that sold for $50.00

I think a general auction value is under $100. At retail, up to triple that. I am sure you will find some priced higher but, realistically, these don't bring big money as the market for them is somewhat limited.

 

Thanks!!

 

Of course it will depend where you are.
Here in the California gold country, it would be priced on the higher side

 

Have just seen so many price variations... Interesting....

 

Shipping issues help keep price down, try CL to sell in yr area. Be sure to mention wt capacity, merchants who ship can sometimes use em if they don't have to use a digital that outputs to a computer.
