    I bought this Penny Scale from a guy that had an antique store that had nothing but amazing stuff in it for way too much money. I got the idea he didn't care to sell anything especially because his store was only open one day a week. I was there to buy a picnic cooler and walking through fell in love with all kinds of things. Under the stairs sat this penny scale buried behind tons of stuff I made my best deal with him and bought it. I trusted the old man so much I paid for it and came to get it later in the week because he had to dig it out. I only bought that penny scale and an uncle sam reproduction piggy bank. I found out about three weeks ago that the old man passed away. He was such a nice guy and had an amazing collection.

      I have met many guys like this over the last 20 odd years. He probably didn't care if he ever sold anything, you're right. I have a fondness for these penny scales as well. I only own a blue Rockola Loboy at the moment.
