**************************************************************Purchased at an Ohio farmhouse auction--this is a true farmhouse scale.
Rusty in all the right places!!!!
The scale was a blue at one time......does have rust along with the blue...can really see the blue color on the bottom of the scale.
Looks like the top is white porcelain..a few chips on the edges and some discoloration. Glass over scale is still intact.
The scale still works.
Scale weight is 4 lbs 10.6 oz. (this is without box or packing material).
Measurements (approximate):
Tall: 8 1/2"
Bottom: 8" x 5"
Top porcelain platform: 6"x 6"
I have wiped the scale but it does need cleaned. Tiny bits of rust flakes off.
I do love the true vintage patina of this scale!!!
