My Rusty Find

in , by Julie Nichols, October 21, 2013
Hi, sweet friends I am back with another great Saturday find.  This has to be one of my all-time favorites!  I have been looking for a scale for a few years and I finally found one at an Estate Sale.  Don't get me wrong I have seen these all over the place but they always had a hefty price or missing a part.  When I tell you what I paid for this beauty you are going to fall off your chair.
Are you ready.....drum roll please.............................................$7.00!!!!

Right now I have it hanging off the crown molding in my kitchen.  


It says capacity 20 lbs.
I think that will hold a lot of apples 


I love the rusty face 

And the green patina on the side


Hopefully, it will have a home in my kitchen hanging on a proper hook and not dangling from the molding. 


SEE YOU SOON!

    Wow! What an awesome deal and fun find! I've been eyeing an old grocery store scale (big and very heavy) that I thought was a deal at $100. But, I haven't gotten it because I'd much rather find a deal like yours. Even though it's smaller. How fun! I love the shape of the buicket/container on the bottom too. I'm so excited for you! And, your find encourages me to keep looking and not give in to the big, $100 one. :-)

    I am going to just say I am so jealous! I have been looking for one and either can't find it, or can't begin to afford it....you are one lucky girl! Enjoy!
