Description
A vintage Hanson Model 8916 Texas Cotton Scale, manufactured in Northbrook, Illinois, USA. This industrial-style spring scale features a robust metal construction with a rectangular body and a clear, readable face marked 0-160 lbs in 1 lb increments. The scale is branded "The Viking" and has a patent number 2,299,980. The overall aesthetic suggests a functional, utilitarian tool likely from the mid-20th century. The scale shows significant signs of age and use, including surface rust, paint loss, and discoloration, consistent with its industrial purpose and age. Despite the cosmetic wear, the mechanism appears intact, and though its accuracy is untested, it appears to be functional. This piece would appeal to collectors of vintage industrial tools, Americana, or those seeking unique decorative objects with historical character.
