I just bought this scale at an auction. It is great condition it just needs the fortune knob and adjusting. It was restored a couple of years ago and I might have paid too much for it but it was cool and the other guy was not going to outbid me. I paid $400.  Let me know what you think.

That looks super clean.  I haven't been looking at prices recently, but if you are happy at 400.00 you did ok.  I have a Watling Tom Thumb Jr.  I paid 350.00 for it years ago.

Looks great, I don't think you over paid.  Probably won't find another one in display ready condition for that.  Condition is everthing.

I've been looking for a penny scale for a while too and to find one in that kind of condition, I don't see how you could go wrong.  If you paid less for one in poorer condition, it would cost you more than that to redo it so I think you came out great.  How long would you have to wait to find another one in that nice of condition?  Congratulations on a great looking scale.  What kind of shape is it in internally?  If you have any pics of the inside I would love to see them.
