The scale dimensions are as follows: the height,
including the marquee measures 73". The head is
15" wide and 20" in length. The front and back pan-
els on the column each measures 8" wide, while the
two side panels are 6-1/2" wide. The footplate is
12"x24". It is interesting to notice the "Lion Feet"
are positioned closer to the footplate (photo #7).
• Shipping and receiving books from loading
dock 1959 - 1972.
• All F.W. Woolworth scale records.
Due to fire, floods, rodents, moving, rain, etc.
these records are not complete.
To request copies of any specific information,
send a self addressed stamped envelope to:
Bill Berning, 135 W. Main St. ,
Genoa, IL 60135.

Merlyn and I had a difficult time making the scale
work properly. Merlyn perservered and found a
counterweight wedged inside the "Lions Paw". She
also discovered a duplicate Five Cent casting that
screwed over the One Cent casting, and after piec-
ing things together the scale worked beautifully on
a nickel instead of a penny!
Why go to Egypt or the Near East to hunt for arti-
facts and treasures when all you have to do is follow
a pick-up truck in Northern Minnesota?!
"HAPPY SCALE COLLECTING"
