- Great looking vintage antique platform scale on cast iron wheels manufactured by Fairbanks Morse & Company of Chicago, Illinois. This piece measures approximately 29' wide x 44' tall x 26' front to back.
- The Fairbanks Morse gas engine became a success providing power for irrigation, electricity generation, and oilfield work. Small power plants built by Fairbanks Morse were popular and evolved by burning kerosene in 1893, coal gas in 1905, and semi-diesel in 1913.
