Description

Finish a country mercantile, feed-store, farmstand, or barn display with a Fairbanks platform scale that still presents as a full weighing station. The wood-and-metal upright, broad platform, graduated beam, disconnected-but-present beam rod, and separate 50- and 100-pound weights create the visual authority that a base or loose scale part cannot.

At 44 inches high, this piece has enough presence to anchor sacks, baskets, crates, or produce-display props without disappearing into the setting. The Fairbanks name and 500-pound capacity marking give visitors a recognizable point of connection, while the beam and hanging weights make the original purpose understandable at a glance.

The beam rod is present but disconnected, and the scale is not represented as accurate or working. Wood surfaces show checking, wear, dirt, and finish loss; metal surfaces show oxidation, rust, and age-related wear. Display it as found or have a knowledgeable restorer evaluate the linkage and remaining components.

Review the gallery for the platform, beam, weights, linkage, and weathered surfaces, then plan a protected, level placement and local pickup.

Condition

Weathered display condition with checking, wear, dirt, and finish loss on the wood and oxidation, rust, and age-related wear on the metal. The beam rod is present but disconnected. The scale is not represented as accurate or working and is offered for display or possible restoration.
