Fairbanks Candy Store Scales

15 years ago

I have an old set of candy store scales that has been in the family since at least the mid 1940's. I have searched the web and come up empty except for one very similar set of scales with a different base. If anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated. The scales were from my Dad's Grandpa Jack's little store that he opened around 1946 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

Linda, The base is different from the set at goantiques is all. The rest appears the same.
