I believe that may be an old Fairbanks scale from the feed and grocer's country stores. They used them to weigh everything.
Seen one out west in a town still lived in from the earliest gold rush days. I was out there prospecting and working dry beds. It was a large one like that one. Fairbanks made all sorts of scales I believe.
On a off side. I've kept note and you extensively use almost 95% a link with that same fb linking.. /scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net. where it's definitely a fb logo showing up. I've tried all my browsers and then some and somehow the &: is added at least 5 times.
Since It's possibly something to do with my isp or advfn adding that amp:, which is used sometimes to block or control viewing or in someway to connect addresses down the line. I'm omitting the stuff sometimes so I can view some of your pics. And not at all suggesting anything of you.
But I wonder, are you going to some fb source to find all your pics, or using fb in some way to post them to ihub? I think you showed me one of your links and I don't recall off the top of my head if it already had the amp thing. It's actually interesting to learn how shit is passed around on the internet.
