We originated and built the Original Guess
Your Weight Scale, the Original Fortune
Ticket Vending Scale with music attachment,
the Original Large Head porcelain enameled
springless scale with fluted post, the Original
Full-Length Mirror Scale with and without for-

vending machine feature attached to scales.

the platform, and many other basic features
which many of the so-called coin operated scale
manufacturers have pirated. Why take a
chance? Buy from the originators!
