Bonanza Scale? Pic

D@D
Can anyone tell me about this scale? I'm planning on putting it on the auction side but need some info as I cant find any on Google. All it says is Bonanza nothing else.

    Bonanza was in business years ago making reloading equipment. Your scale appears to be one of the older models that used a oil bath to slow the pointer down. Unless you can find some collector(s) of Bonanza brand reloading equipment, not likely to be much interest in it. All the newer scales are either digital or magnetically damped.

    I have two of them, but they are marked REDDING, excellent scales, if you list it please send me a link so I can place a bid. By any chance, do you have the original box?

    It appears to be missing the pan and hanger. They sold new in 1963 for $8.99. It is not worth the time or effort if you have to pay listing fees.

    I sure will. No I don't have the original box this is just one of the things in a box I traded for.

    I have the pan and I'm still looking for the hanger.

    It's always best to start a new topic, rather then high jack one that's over a year old.

    That said, older obsolete reloading equipment isn't in great demand unless you can find a collector interested in your specific item for his collection. Although it appears to be in excellent condition many reloaders have gone to the new digital sales that have seen a extreme drop in price. My WAG is that it would be in the $15-$30 range.

    Thanks so much for the prompt answer. I am not much of a forums fan so I don't know the rules. Sorry about that.
