In this restoration video, you will see me restoring an antique egg scale. The egg scale looks like an epoch prototype because, on the dial, it is written that it was produced in Krakow and that the weight wasn't verified/legalized.
The beautiful antique kitchen tool is made of galvanized sheets with beautiful brass parts. I tried to keep an antique look and preserve the marks of time that are working to prove its age/authenticity. I removed only the prominent sharp marks that resulted from an earlier repair. Such scales can be found in a meager number, or sometimes unique. So, they need to be preserved. The dial was in pretty good shape, so I've only washed it with a soft brush. This part can be considered as the ID/authenticity certificate of the scale.
The restoration process took me almost a week due to too many pieces to restore/repair. I used only food-graded paint.
Making a new egg-shaped stand was fun, and dealing with so many holes in the water tank was quite a challenge, as you probably saw already.
I hope I have caught everything, but if you have any questions, you can comment, and I'll get back to you!
Cheers! Johnny.
