Old Scales Save

Bought these scales at a yard-sale for a couple bucks. The ceramic tops were broken, so I made a couple out of some oak I had laying around. Then I used some more of the oak to build a box to rest (mount) it on. When done, I used some brass railing I picked up for a song and dance at a swap meet to dress it all up a bit more.

Perhaps ironically, I sold it back to the guy I bought it from for about $75.00.
