<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joe2007, post: 193074, member: 1262&quot;]Hello folks,</p><p><br /></p><p>Was in an antique mall today and saw a booth with many &quot;vintage&quot; egg scales (6 or 7 different types, no duplicates). I like country primitives and have a few egg scales in my collection. I was looking over the dealers scales since they were all in pristine condition but didn&#039;t look quite right on the paint and decals. The metal appeared to be a little rough and granular under the paint. As I was looking at one I saw a &quot;Made in India&quot; sticker on the bottom of one, perhaps the dealer forgot to remove it.</p><p><br /></p><p>One of the scales was similar to the one in this eBay listing.</p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Farm-Country-Antique-Style-Cyclone-Chicken-Hen-Rooster-Egg-Scale-/381678368113#viTabs_0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Farm-Country-Antique-Style-Cyclone-Chicken-Hen-Rooster-Egg-Scale-/381678368113#viTabs_0" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Farm-Country-Antique-Style-Cyclone-Chicken-Hen-Rooster-Egg-Scale-/381678368113#viTabs_0</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This seller claims to specialize in high quality reproductions.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have to admit I&#039;m kind of surprised that something common and affordable is being reproduced on such a large scale. The seller in the antique mall had their scales priced at $29 each.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
