Scales
- A Collector's Guide: At long last, a definitive book about scales. While
nearly every business and home has at least one scale, Scales - A Collector's
Guide showcases hundreds of color photographs of the most collectible scales
ever made. Tucked in its pages are scales for diamonds, eggs, the bathroom,
martinis, golf clubs, coin-operated types and even toy scales. Size ranges from
fit-in-the-hand styles to large cast iron store scales; from beautiful sterling
silver scales made by Tiffany to fishing varieties. Indeed, the range seems
almost infinite. Twelve chapters cover specific types of scales, including the
above listing, others cover shop types, grain, dairy, gold, coin and gems
styles, people scales and miniature types. Another chapter addresses the
building and expansion of a collection. A resource section directs the reader to
related reading and research material. Most entries include a value, which in
our estimation, are accurate. If you like mechanical gadgets, this book is bound
to hit your soft spot; if you have ever used a scale, or just love scales, this
book is the best ever written on the subject. Scales- A Collectors Guide
measures 8 1/2" x 11", contains 160 pages and is perfect bound with a
full-color, plastic-coated soft cover.
