A "Thing" for Scales

Hey my friends!

I hope you are having a wonderful start to a brand new week!

Today I want to share with you my new favorite flea market find :)

Antique Detroit Automatic Scales

If you have been around a while, you may know Mr. Buckets of Burlap

has a "thing" for vintage scales.

What you may not know is, he has a birthday in June :)

So, on our recent "birthday" trip to Canton Trade Days,

he spotted this old Detroit Automatic Grocery Scale...

just as we were leaving.

It was a STEAL, I tell you, a STEAL.

It has very unique, ornate features and stands pretty tall,

so it had to have a corner of it's own.

Take a look at it's backside, too:

I moved our hutch out of the kitchen, 

then placed my old chippy green door behind it, for a little backdrop.

Mr. BofB has an eye for scales, the older the better.

This one's patented in 1903.

It still needs a real good scrubbing around the base.

But I couldn't wait to show you.

It's definitely our favorite scale in the house.

Happy Birthday Mr. Buckets of Burlap!  He's a really great guy ;)

Soon, I'll show you a few other flea market finds we came across.

I am sharing over at Tuesdays Treasures with Kristin :)

I'd like to thank my new followers for joining in!

I appreciate everyone for visiting!

Have a great week :)

Blessings,
