Undamaged, but I cannot guarantee if all the features work because I am not up to the sophistication of this scale. Model = Type TC. Serial No. = No 1 7556. Medallion on side of chassis reads, "O.F. 1341". Tag at back indicates last serviced in 1960. Cabinet by Will Corporation, Rochester, NY.. Scale by Wm. Ainsworth & Sons, Denver CO. Cabinet composed of painted black wood. Scale mounted on what appears to be a black marble base. (Insurance IS available. Buyer pays my cost. Ignore "insurance unavailable" below. ) Last picture shows miscellany found in drawer. It doesn't seem to me that any of it goes with the unit, but the buyer is welcome to it all if he/she wants it. Informative viewer sent the following: "The 'miscellany found in drawer' are the 4 adjustable feet and 'arrest' control knobs. The aluminum 'wires' fashioned in various shapes are precision weights. The other parts may be control weights attached to the Beam." Another viewer explained what "stirrups" are and asked if they are missing. Answer = yes, the stirrups are missing. Photos of the Ainsworth balance weights which come with the instrument in a metal box are newly added. Thanks to all who provided input.
