Fairbanks Morse Scale Co. 5 pound weight, vintage

Fairbanks Morse Scale Co. 5 pound weight, Vintage. Fairbanks, Morse and Company was an American manufacturing company in the late 19th and early 20th century. Founded in 1823 as a manufacturer of weighing scales, it later diversified into pumps, engines, windmills, coffee grinders, radios, farm tractors, feed mills, locomotives, and industrial supplies. The original purpose of the scale was to weigh farm produce without unloading it from the trucks or wagons. This piece is in the condition shown in the picture, a bit Rusty, but that adds to the charm. A perfect paperweight for your favorite farmer!
