RARE VINTAGE BAKELITE EGG SCALES
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:8213366 | Era: 1940s |
THESE EGG SCALES ARE MADE FROM MOTTLED GREEN BAKELITE,
THE BAKELITE HAS TAKEN ON A BROWN COLOUR WITH AGE, THIS CAN BE RUBBED BACK WITH STEEL WOOL AND BRASSO TO REVEAL THE ORIGINAL GREEN AS CAN BE SEEN ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE SCALES.
I HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED TO CLEAN THESE SCALES, UNFORTUNATELY THE TRANSFER WITH THE GRADUATIONS HAS MOSTLY WORN OFF BUT THERE ARE NO CRACKS OR DAMAGE TO THE BAKELITE AND THE SCALES OPERATE FINE.
CAN'T DETECT A MAKERS NAME OR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN BUT SUSP...ECT THEY ARE 1940's AUSTRALIAN MADE.
