Antique Scales & Old Grocery Store

I use to have a house full of primitives and still love them, however mostly what I have left are kitchen items.  They are so fun to look at and I just can't seem to part with them.

I love scales of all kinds and I have a really small collection.  This is one of my favorites.  It has been put in the storage area for a while, so I thought it was time to give it a little love.  Great piece and it actually weighs pretty accurately.  Finding one with the original brass trays was a real find.

 Playing in my favorite corner of the kitchen again.

 I really love this little chicken egg carrier.  There are antique ones, however, I havn't ever found one, just seem them in books, but this little reproduction will do just fine.  It was a gift from my daughter.  She definitely knows her mama.

 This tray of the scales holds a little tin top syrup pitcher that was my grandmothers, a tiny graniteware teapot and an old bottle opener.

 A couple of old baking powder tin cans and an antique mixer.

 See the looped wire paddles in the bottom.  You just push down on the top knob and they twirl around to beat eggs or mix liquids together.  Wasn't that a clever idea?

I've leaned an old punched pie pan up in the back.  They were punched so the bottom of the crust would cook.  Remember, they had wood stoves, so things weren't as regulated as ours are today.  They needed the top and the bottom to cook at the same time.
