BidProwl Summary
Vintage Sun Watling coin-op weight and horoscope scale, 63 inches tall, enameled steel and cast iron, manufactured by Watling Scale Co in Chicago and distributed from Montreal, with overall nice appearance but chipped mirror and non-functional mechanism. Collectors and vintage machine dealers buy these for display and restoration, particularly for taverns, bars, or themed establishments seeking period authenticity. Verify the scale mechanism before bidding since testing showed the coin drop does not actuate the weighing function, and confirm you have capability to arrange third-party shipping for this large piece.
AI summary of the seller's listing; it may occasionally contain inaccuracies. Check the full description and inspect before bidding.
Condition note: Scale tested non-functional, needs adjustment/repair
