A Crouse-Hinds flat top porthole. It was a good buy with a full set of commands!

Tradition. That's my dog Oxford and whenever I was doing a resto and shooting pics, he'd end up in most of the pics by accident since I was painting in the backyard. So I thought I'd throw him in because I can't post resto pics without Ox.

Hi Folks,

Since this topic is not light specific, thought I would throw something else up.

This is a Health-O-Meter bathroom scale model 6 which was manufactured in 1922. Has cast iron parts and weighs 23 lbs.
Before:

Image

The mechanism had to be completely disassembled, cleaned and repainted.
Image

After:

We redid this about 6 years ago and after calibrating the scale have been using it ever since in our bathroom.

Cheers!
