Probably our most ambitious project yet....
Picked up this vintage jockey scales, manufactured by the Gravity Scale Company in Swansea, at auction some time ago. The scales were in a very poor state, they were literally falling to pieces, collapsing under their own weight. The 1st photo is when we got them.
The scales were completely dismantled and every piece thoroughly cleaned and repaired where required. All the wooden components have been treated to provide much needed cleaning and nourishment. A wax has been applied to provide protection and shine. All the metal components have had surface rust removed and been thoroughly polished.
To maintain the age and obvious use of the scales we have tried to perform a sympathetic restoration.
The scales are fully functional but we obviously can’t guarantee their accuracy.
Please be aware this item is very heavy, we estimate well in excess of 50kg.
We are selling this piece via eBay and not our usual Etsy shop. This item is collection only. We are happy to engage with a courier that is organised by the buyer.
