the Computing Scale Company - the Computing Scsle Co

Rare Antique Counter Scale “Style 221” – The Computing Scale Co. (Pioneer IBM, 1906-1910) – With weights Very rare and authentic cast-iron shop and candy scale from circa 1906 by The Computing Scale Co. (Dayton, Ohio, USA). Equipped with graceful bronze decorative rims in Art Nouveau/Victorian style and an original printed Dutch scale division in Pounds and Ounces. A beautiful piece of industrial history: The Computing Scale Co. formed the direct basis for the later tech giant IBM. The mechanism does not work well, it is provided with the original weights. The scale has a beautiful patina. Due to the high weight and the combination of cast iron and glass, this scale is very fragile and extremely difficult to ship by mail. Pick-up or have us deliver to roughly 500 km from Zoetermeer at cost price (25 cents per km) has our strong preference. This type of scale hardly comes up at auction and is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautiful industrial design piece from the Art Nouveau period.
