About the Item
A striking early 20th-century Fairbanks Springless industrial platform scale, manufactured in the United States and retaining its original dial face, patent plaque (1920–1926), and untouched industrial patina.
Fairbanks was one of America’s most iconic makers of commercial weighing equipment, and this “springless” model was engineered with a precision lever-and-balance mechanism rather than a coil spring—resulting in highly accurate readings for factories, warehouses, dairies, shipping houses, and industrial labs.
This piece offers pure sculptural presence: a wide cast-metal base, a beautifully aged face with its original typography, and a monumental circular dial that reads like industrial art.

View AllTrapezoid Willy Guhl Planter, two available
By Willy Guhl
Located in Wichita, KS
Rare vintage square taper trapezoid shaped Willy Guhl planter. This shape is not common and hard to find. wonderful handles on the Side and great patina. Would make a lovely planter inside or out. sold individually. One planter has a smoother gray exterior and probably has not been painted over the years. The other has a bit more patina. Together the two blend nicely. one also has a hairline in the concrete in the upper corner on one side.
