Antique Scale , Computing Scale Company, Dayton Ohio USA

Description

This scale is early 1900's.  It has been in family for over 45 years.  As shown in pictures, there are some paint scratches and wear.  All glass is good on display and platter.  This is a model 1700 with a serial # of 586804.
If interested, we could ship...I would rather have picked up due to age and would not like to chance damage.  It has been around this long and deserves t be preserved.
A little History:
From what I can remember and paper work  I have, The Computing Scale Company of Dayton OH made this scale somewhere early 1900's.  The Computing Scale Company turned into the Dayton Scale Company and was purchased by I.B.M prior to 1934/1935.  In 1934 or 1935..( I have 2 documented papers stating each year), Hobart Corporation acquired The Dayton Scale Company from I.B.M.
***What is special about this scale is I have a good copy of the 1700 set up instructions made for the end user.  This is a 3 page brochure showing set up and basic operation and parts.  Also included in this is a signed note from Hobart Corporation to the current owner signed in 1978.
As with all antique pieces, the story of where it can from is part of its mystic and history.  The winner of the auction will be the only one that hears the story.
