Established in 1760, Salter has been developing precision products for over 260 years. Salter develops and sells products that span a wide range of core product categories, including scales, electricals, cookware and countertop. It is a market leader in kitchen and bathroom scales and one of the UK’s oldest consumer brands. George Salter & Co. began life in the late 1760s in the village of Bilston, England when Richard Salter, a spring maker, began making the first spring scales in Britain. He called these scales "pocket steelyards", though they work on a different principle from steelyard balances. By 1825, his nephew George had taken over the company, which became known as George Salter & Co. George later established a manufacturing site in the town of West Bromwich.Scale has lots of patina/grime, w/wear (rust on cast-iron scale and molded metal basin stains on scale face, and scratches and paint chips everywhere on green paint) - see picsMetal basin does not lay horizontally correct, due to scale dislodgment (see pic)Your shipment will arrive via USPS Priority Mail (1-4 business days), USPS Ground (2-8 business days), or UPS Ground (1-5 business days), after the 2-3 day processing time (upon paid purchase)Shipment(s) sent out of Lemon Grove, California, USAWill be packed very well - read our feedback!No Returns *UPS GROUND MAY BE 50% CHEAPER THAN SHOWN HERE, ASK US FIRST BEFORE PAYING INVOICE - NEED YOUR ZIP CODE!
