"A Piece of Seekonk History"

 

A friend of the animal shelter has donated a vintage Jacobs Company scale that came from Oscar's Hardware Store that operated on Lincoln Street in Seekonk for five decades. It was founded by Oscar Fredericksen and later owned by Dave Parker. The scale was used to weigh all the nails and fasteners sold by the pound in the store.

The store was a true hardware store and a fixture in town It was always said "If Oscars doesn't have it, you don't need it."  The scale would make a good conversation piece, decoration or a nice restoration project.
