A new restoration .. <'TK><
Folks this was a first for me ... A year or so a go I restored a 1955 10 HP Johnson outboard for a client that he was going to place on his screened in porch at his home ... This past Christmas he received as a present a 1915 Toledo Butcher Scale ... He brought it to me to restore but wanted it painted in 1955 SeaHorse Green to match his Motor ... The scale was going to be a center piece in the adjacent kitchen to the Porch ...
The scale was a Beam and lever type scale ... Believe it or not very similar to the Fairbanks Morse Coal car scales that I use to work on at the TVA Gallatin Steam Plant back in the 70's ... just a lot smaller scale .. principle the same ..
It turned out great !! ... this is a Great piece of American Heritage ... See Pic's ... <'TK><
