A lovely set of vintage Librasco kitchen balance scales, made in England and believed to date from the 1980s.
The scales pictured are the exact set you will receive.
It's increasingly difficult to find these scales complete with both original brass weighing pans and all eight traditional chessman-shaped brass weights.
This example is finished in the less commonly seen black cast iron, rather than the traditional green, providing a particularly attractive contrast with the brass fittings.
DETAILS
- Approximate age: 1980–1989
- Construction: Heavy black cast iron
- Two original brass weighing pans
- Complete set of eight brass chessman-shaped weights
- Traditional mechanical balance scales
- Fully functional and suitable for everyday use or display
CONDITION
Very good vintage condition throughout.
The scales are fully functional, remain well balanced and are still perfectly usable for their original purpose.
The black cast-iron frame is in very good condition, with no chips to the paintwork.
Over the years, the brass pans and weights have developed a lovely deep, naturally aged patina. I've deliberately left them unpolished, as I feel this adds considerably to their vintage character and charm.
However, should you prefer a brighter finish, the brass could easily be polished to restore its original shine.
A particularly attractive and complete example, equally suited to a traditional kitchen or vintage display.
Please study the photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.
