We were out for a drive and doing our regular rounds of the secondhand
and antique stores in Cairns
This was one of the places we visited
And there was a Salter No 45 Scale!!!
We could be wrong, but it appeared to be an original set, as described
above in the note from Joe MacNeil of Salter Homewares
Our set, also mentioned above, is an early 1980's reproduction
This set at Kinsella's Antiques was in 'just fair condition' and
was priced at $155.00
We paid $152.50 for our scales
