We should be able to help. You have an older style balance, but one of our modern styles should work. I'm just not sure if it would be our S380-23 or S385-23. It would depend on the depth (or, the heel-to-toe measurement) of your bottom shoe. See what you think!

Tom, Thank you for your response, the width measurement on the foot is approx. 15/16 and has a slightly different configuration. I think the 380 series would probably be ok. I don't think that the extra thickness would cause the window to bind do you

I agree, the Series 380 looks to be the better match. I would wager the shoe size wore down a little over time due to friction.

Great thanks! I forgot to ask last night, so you know what weight range the "D" on the stamping would designate?

I was thinking 2150?

Thanks again!

A stamp of "22D" usually corresponds to our 2240 option, but you can always weigh your sash to confirm.
