I bought several of these windows in the early 80s from a business that is now out of business. Can you help me with some balances

Hello! This balance looks very similar to our Series 350. Look it over and let me know if you agree; it comes with a 19-002 top and 15-004 bottom, so as long as those match you should be good to go. Based on your 19B stamp, you'll want a 20" balance and a 1920 stamp option.

I've ordered before but forgot....metal part 20" long. One has "19c" pressed in and the other has "19204"

It looks like you need the same S350-20 balances discussed in your original post form 2019 above. With that being said, it is strange that the balances from the same window have different stamps. I would recommend weighing your sash to determine the strength needed for your new balance springs. There is a chart on the product page that explains how to choose your option based on the sash weight. Thank you!

Casey yes they are from different windows. I have 8 similar windows bought over a few years that came from the same window company. They must've switched types of balances but all windows are identical
