VERY IMPORTANT: THE SCALE WITH ITS WEIGHTS WEIGHS OVER  10KG SO ONLY BID IF YOU ARE PREPARED TO PAY THE POSTNET SHIPPING FEES OF R320. IF THE WINNING BID IS FROM CAPE TOWN AND SURROUNDS COLLECTION CAN BE ARRANGED.  

This Houghton & Gun postal scale is attached to  a wooden base and the square pan on the left can be detached. The writing on the white enamel plates indicating the cost per weight is still clearly visible.  

The round recesses which house the weights are made from red velvet but are dirty and well used. The mechanical part of the scale seems to be in a good condition. The wooden base shows age-related wear and tear.

The manufacturer's name has been stamped on the brass on the top and is also visible on a small plaque in the wood. (See photographs)

 

There are 9  weights and the denominations are:

  • 2 x 4lbs
  • 1 x 2lbs
  • 1 x1 bls

1 each of the following: 8oz, 4oz, 2oz, 1oz and 1/2oz  

 

I am not an expert and any mistake made with the description is not intentional. 

(Vintage Hippy offers a 100%, 7-day money-back guarantee.)

Shipping is usually done on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
