Strawbridge and Isaac H. Clothier in 1868 became a major department store through the late 1900s. This antique American Family Scale was once a part of Strawbridge \u0026amp; Clothier history from the Philadelphia region. It showcases a raised, cast iron platform with a round glass-less dial face, stenciled gold\/bronze color trim, Japanned or blackened metal body and a tin weighing pan. The special features are both the script, stenciled American Family Scale name on two sides and a brass plaque beneath the round face with incised advertising of \"Strawbridge \u0026amp; Clothier Philadelphia, PA.\"  A rare find with history, waiting to be a part of your collection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Refer to \"Condition\" for additional information\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003ePatent Date: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003eOct. 25, 1898 (marked on dial face)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003eCirca:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e Late 1800s – Early 1900s \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003eHeight: 10” (to top of round platform)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003eBase: 7” x 6 1\/8”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003eDiameter of Dial Face: 6”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003eDiameter of Top: 5 1\/8” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"mso-special-character: line-break;\"\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Weight:  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\"\u003e3 lbs 13 ounces (without tin pan), 4 lbs 4 ounces (with pan)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003eColor:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e Black \u0026amp; Gold\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e United States\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e  Previously owned - used.
