Vintage Scale Restore or ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Getter-Done** · 09-10-2021, 09:38 PM

I went to a Garage Sale this evening.

I purchased this scale in the pictures below.

It is well built and Heavier than it looks

It will mostly be a Display Item.
I will make a clear cover for the numbers.
I am debating whether to:

1: Coat it with oil
2: Spray it with satin clear coat.
3: Paint it close to the original color.

I will post a Poll.

Thanks for your Input
