Satisfying Antique 2 lb Iron Weight in Gold Paint pink and green I first thought a stork

I first thought a stork based on the shape of the head (and that beak seems perfectly poised to dangle a baby

as if "Sunfed Vitamin Bread" was more a type of bread than a proprietary product

Subtle but really quite a special one I think

I find it so heartening and life affirming the care and effort people put into making useful things special

with doors on the side of one of them that slide open and closed (with nails for handles)

Satisfying Antique 2 lb Iron Weight in Gold Paint pink and green I first thought a storkJust a very satisfying old scale weight, cast iron, with old gold paint over the 2 and around the rim. The sort of thing that I can't help but to pick up and carry around the store, and which is just too right to leave behind. I see and pass by a lot of scale weights, but not this one. A lucky no. 2! 3 3 4" in diameter x 1" tall. Weighs 2 lbs! Good condition, great patina.
