took a day off today to take a Coastie buddy of mine out to one of my favorite sites before he gets shipped overseas next week for a year. He admitted that he had been in a CW relic drought for 2 years and today was the remedy. After a slow start to the morning I found this awesome shoulder scale, more about that later. after lunch, and about 30 feet away, my friend found another shoulder scale in a couple of pieces. He was able to pull 2 three ringers and a great pre 1900 Church Co Soda token which later became Arm and Hammer.
Anyway the shoulder scale I found is pretty interesting. It has the top and bottom piece along with two of the scales. It was separated when I pulled it out of the hole, but the pieces came out togeather. when I lifted the top off the two scales were inside similar to the picture below. The way I see it the scales lay on top and would not have fallen inside of the thing.
did these things have spare scales inside for replacement? the only other thing I can imagine is it was broken and someone slid the scales inside.
Thanks for looking and HH.
