Just thought I’d start up a thread for things we like to have, just because we do, no other reason than that.
Selling our house at Daisy Hill, and going through everything to see what will go and what we (that is I) want to keep has made me try to justify to my wife why I want to keep certain things and for many of my favorites the best answer I can give is “Just cos”.
So I thought I’d start off with my portable boxed balance scale. Everything unscrews and packs down into box.
I know modern digital scales are easy to use but weighing out gold on balance scales seems far more exciting as you add more and more weight wondering when the side holding the gold will start to rise.
The second photo is from when I was selling some small nuggets to a jeweller from Melbourne. Not only did he buy the gold but also wanted to buy the scales as well.
